Mr Michael Green
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Somatic Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, Meditation Teacher
I enjoy working collaboratively to create a shared sense of the goals and process of therapy. My work is informed by clinical psychology within a psychodynamic framework, my training in somatic psychotherapy, and a deep interest in the intersection of the mind, body, emotions and spirit. As well as the more conventional approaches of clinical psychology I make active use of my background in yoga, meditation and creative arts therapies. My approach is guided by assisting you to identify your deeper life callings and to identifying how you might make these more central to your lived experience. I have presented aspects of my work at conferences in Australian capital cities and internationally in Berlin and Berne, Switzerland. As well as my work as a therapist I am a musician, gardener and nature lover.

YouBeYou Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
We work together through your present experiences, supporting you to understand, love and care for the parts of you that may be stuck in the past, in pain or isolated. I bring experience from my years of working in facilitation, group work and therapy to be with you as you connect in with all parts of yourself. We can use these sessions to be deeply curious about the truth you have stored deep within your being. I believe we all hold the answers to the questions that can hold us back, keep us small and stuck in a life that doesn't bring us true happiness. My style of being works alongside your own brilliance to co-create the session that you need.

Lucy Hampson
Registered Psychotherapist
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges you're facing? Are you struggling with chronic illness, stress, attachment issues or trauma and searching for a way to feel better? Whether it's chronic illness, stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, or relationship struggles, I understand how hard it can be to navigate life's difficulties. As a licensed therapist, I offer a compassionate, somatic and trauma-informed space where we can work together to explore the connections between your mind and body.
I can help you find relief by integrating somatic & mind-body therapeutic practices. Together, we'll explore the connection between your mind & body with compassion & curiosity, helping you uncover new pathways forward, regulate your nervous system, heal past traumas, & understand your body’s signals. Break free from old patterns and start to heal & grow.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. That’s why I’m here to offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your challenges at your own pace. You don’t have to go through this alone—together, we can work toward healing and growth.
