Rana Salloum - Relationships & Diversity (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor, MA, ACA-L3
I have 14 years of experience working with multicultural populations, in different countries such as the USA and Lebanon. I offer therapy in both English and Arabic. I can also hold a conversation in French. I support at-risk youth, displaced families, and those facing relationship problems. I work with mood disorders and different types of trauma, created by bullying and domestic violence. I offer a client-centred and multicultural approach in therapy. I emphasise accepting the uniqueness of each individual while also working with the intricate impact of culture on self- awareness, development and overall well-being.
In addition to the wide range of therapeutic techniques I use, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also an animal lover and believe in integrating animals into therapy, when appropriate, as this type of therapy can provide soothing, healing and comfort for individual clients.
I view the process of counselling as a delicate and enriching experience, both for my clients as well as for myself as a counsellor.

Michelle Collier
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns., PACFA Reg.Certified Practising 30813
Navigating challenges like grief, relationship issues, or life transitions can be difficult. I offer a space where you can openly discuss your experiences. My approach incorporates trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and positive psychology to support your healing and growth.
While 2024 marks the official start of my professional practice, my journey as a counselor has been shaped by over 500 hours of supervised placement and a year of dedicated crisis support work. These experiences have provided me with the practical skills and deep empathy needed to effectively support clients from the very start of my practice.
In our sessions, we will work together to address your unique needs, focusing on improving relationships, building self-awareness, and making meaningful changes. By exploring your strengths, we will collaboratively develop strategies to manage life’s complexities.
Seeking help is a significant step, and I’m here to provide supportive, non-judgmental guidance. If you’re ready to embark on this journey toward a more fulfilling life, reach out to begin.

Rhiannon Derrig - Sexuality And Relationships (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, PACFA; Psychosexual Therapist
As a registered psychosexual therapist, I specialise in helping individuals with trauma and PTSD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and sexual difficulties, including intimacy and trust. I am also passionate about providing support for navigating gendered, sexual, racial, and neuro diversity, and cultural identities, who may experience discrimination or internalised stigma.
Centering unconditional positive regard, I work closely with the client to deeply explore how their past experiences, current situations, family background, and social elements of their lives have impacted their wellbeing. I then work together with the client to explore how they navigate life within their social and environmental surroundings, as well as how to establish an environment and support system that is conducive to growth and healthy self-esteem.
As a therapist, I deeply value sex positivity, social justice and removing the stigma and social constraints surrounding mental health work. I also aim to move away from binary and the pathologisation of queerness and neurodiversity, and provide dedicated support for people who feel they fall outside of the margins of the dominant societal group.
Peer support towards queerness and neurodiversity is an important therapeutic element that I provide - living actively in the queer community and with neurodiversity myself, I am able to genuinely connect with others who may identify with similar experiences.
