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.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, GradDip
I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist specializing in helping individuals heal from childhood developmental trauma, reconnect with their inner selves, and foster deep emotional healing. My approach blends somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), and nervous system regulation to address the profound mind-body connection that trauma impacts. I believe healing occurs when we learn to listen to the wisdom of our bodies, meet the wounded parts of ourselves with compassion, and reclaim the sense of safety we may have lost.
In my practice, I provide a safe, compassionate space where your full experience is welcomed. Together, we explore the parts of you that feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, gently supporting you as you uncover your authentic self and rebuild a stronger sense of wholeness.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals and couples who experience:
Childhood trauma or attachment wounds
Overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation
Feelings of disconnection or difficulty trusting themselves
Persistent patterns of shame, self-criticism, or relational struggles
Navigating relationship challenges

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.
