Our Therapist

Irene Pearson

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
Bachelor of Management, Master of Social Science (International Development), Master of Social Work 

Our clinical counselling is provided by Irene, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 13 years of experience assisting people with a wide range of psychosocial issues (see Issues we support).   

Irene specialises in helping people understand how early life experiences and complex life issues can shape us, become aware of the influence of unconscious visceral  beliefs and conditioned patterns of thinking on their lives, and learn how to resolve these issues to improve the quality of their lives.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and provided in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can be your full self, talk about what’s important to you, be completely honest about how you feel and go at your pace.   

An integrative therapeutic approach is used that draws on a range of focused psychological strategies and evidence-based therapies (see Therapeutic approaches). This approach is trauma-informed, recovery orientated and takes a biopsychosocial, whole-of-person perspective to fully understand the impact that social, environmental and cultural factors have on a persons health and wellbeing.

Irene works with adolescents, adults and older adults.
