Heath Gerrard
"I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come back on in someone’s eyes when they have been lost in the dark for so long."
The light returned to Heath's eyes when he embarked on his own recovery journey 11 years
ago. The unexpected gift that emerged from the struggle was a passion for the transformative recovery process and helping guide others out of the darkness.
Heath is a Registered Counsellor and has worked at treatment centres throughout Australia over the last 10 years, most recently at South Pacific Private in Sydney for 6.5 years. He prides himself on delivering guidance and support in an easy-to-follow and empathic manner as someone who has also walked down a dark path and found a new way. Heath believes a key aspect of embarking on the journey of self-discovery is doing a deep dive to uncover the underlying core issues and heal the old wounds that lie beneath the surface, often unwittingly driving 'the tip of the iceberg'; or presenting problems showing up in our everyday life – namely our relationship with ourselves and others. This in- depth reflection serves as a solid foundation to then resource you with the tools to achieve profound and lasting change.
Recovery has provided the opportunity for Heath to recently make the move to Bali to work remotely, surf, and hang out with his partners one-eyed rescue dog, Twiggy. He is available online via Telehealth.

Bevan Pfeiffer
I’m a therapist who works with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves more deeply and build relationships that feel more honest, connected, and fulfilling, whether that’s in love, work, or life as a whole.
The people I work with often carry a lot: responsibilities, expectations, emotional weight. From the outside, they may seem like they’re holding it all together, but inside, something feels off. Maybe it’s a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Maybe it’s the pressure of keeping up in a fast-paced world while feeling quietly lost. Or maybe it’s the simple, tender ache of wanting to feel more like yourself again.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about making space to slow down, tune in, and begin to hear what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether you’re coming alone or with a partner, I offer a grounded, open, and real space where you don’t have to get it right, and where growth comes through curiosity, not perfection.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an actor and a yoga teacher. That background still shapes how I show up: with creativity, presence, and a deep respect for the body’s wisdom. I know what it’s like to be in high-pressure environments and to feel the cost of staying strong for too long. I bring that lived experience into the room in a way that’s warm, human, and gently challenging when needed.
My approach is collaborative and experiential. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice. Together, we explore what you’re feeling, what you’ve learned to protect, and what you’re still longing for emotionally, relationally, even physically. Real change happens not just through insight, but through connection.
I’m also passionate about men’s mental health. So many men grow up with silent rules about how to be strong, stoic, or successful. Over time, that can lead to disconnection from others, and from yourself. I offer a space where men can show up fully, speak honestly, and explore what strength, care, and emotional presence really mean for them.
If something in you is ready for a shift, even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet, you don’t have to figure it all out first. You just need a starting point. Therapy can be that place.

Nick Andrew
Nick is passionate about finding a way to survive and thrive in the face of systemic and personal challenges. He has a deep understanding of trauma and the roots of emotional pain, addiction and other coping behaviours. He uses this to help clients gain a clearer understanding of the personal and social factors that have shaped their struggles, and how they can move forward.
Nick is a compassionate therapist who is both professional and relatable in how he connects with clients. He has a unique ability to build connection, clear communication, authenticity, and safety. Building this secure foundation helps clients to feel heard and able to work through and sit with difficult experiences and feelings.
Nick believes that relationships are at the root of both trauma and recovery. By creating a safe space within the counselling relationship, he helps clients to become more grounded and develop boundaries and skills to manage challenging situations. He believes that this is a key process that allows clients to make healthy changes, build better relationships, and move towards personal goals.
Nick is a masters qualified Clinical Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Meditation teacher. He draws on his various skills to help clients manage feelings of anxiety and distress.

“Jackson is one of the best counsellors I have seen over many years. Great rapport with him. Very knowledgeable, practical. I feel very well supported by him.”
“It's great having someone to talk to about important issues, knowing there is no judgement and only good intentions.”
“I can’t explain just how much oksana has been pivotal in my recovery journey. After years of trying to find a professional that I resonated with I finally found the help I was looking for and so desperately needed in oksana.”
“Meeting Oksana has been literally a life saver for me. She is an exceptional therapist and an even more exceptional human being. I am forever grateful.”
“Oksana's caring and relaxed nature made me feel instantly comfortable and safe, which has allowed me to open up and be as vulnerable as ever. Her wisdom, advice, guidance and support has helped me through a very difficult year.
I like very much how resourceful as a therapist she is as she is regularly suggesting new approaches and ideas. Through art therapy, inner child work, and NF my recovery has continued to improve so much so that I now no longer need any prescription medications.
Oksana has not only been instrumental in my recovery from addiction PTSD and depression but she has taught me how to live a more peaceful, purposeful and happy life. Learning how to understand myself and my needs has also helped with how I connect with others. Im building a better relationship with my own self as well as with others.”
“Jackson takes the time to hear others with compassion and a deep emphatic understanding that leads to lasting change and healing. Great Therapist!!”
“The biggest results were when I started to focus on myself before focusing on others. This has included my decision to move, my decision to travel overseas and my decision to enrol in a masters program.”
“I liked her immensely from the start when I was referred to her for group therapy, and for the next 9 months Ive had regular sessions each week feeling better and better. I felt I was finally understood and supported.”
“Oksana is an incredibly thorough and invested therapist who truly cares about her clients. She is extremely approachable and empathetic which makes the journey to healing so much easier.”
“Oksana has not only been instrumental in my recovery from addiction PTSD and depression but she has taught me how to live a more peaceful, purposeful and happy life.”

FAQ's
Why Therapy?
Whether the issue is big or small, persistent or fleeting; connecting and having someone be with you, will provide a space for you to explore whatever is going on for you.
There are many reasons why people want to find a therapist. Some common reasons people reach out for support may include depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief and loss or difficulties in your relationships.
Some areas in your life you may already be kicking goals and have it all under control and yet, some areas of your life you could use a little support. Perhaps, it’s just about wanting to find some answers to grow and get a better understanding about YOU.

What even is Counselling and Psychotherapy?
The answer really varies from therapist to therapist but also client to client.
I believe that what ever happens in the space is what you work with together. Counselling and Psychotherapy for me is about unpacking, growing, learning, understanding and improving oneself, our wellbeing and how we live in the world.
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
The professional body PACFA say that both utilise an interpersonal relationship to enable people to develop self-understanding and to make changes in their lives. Although Counselling and Psychotherapy overlap considerably, there are also recognised differences in terms of aims, approaches and training. While the work with clients may be of considerable depth in both modalities, the focus of counselling is more likely to be on specific problems or changes in life adjustment. Psychotherapy is more concerned with the restructuring of the self.
Is what I share in sessions kept confidential?
Yes absolutely. Confidentiality is sacred in all sessions including individual, online and group therapy. Everything that is told in session is confidential. I will only breach confidentiality if it is necessary to prevent serious or imminent harm to oneself or others. Safety is key!
What is your Cancellation Policy?
You can cancel or reschedule an appointment anytime if you provide 24 hours’ notice. If you cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to show up, you will be charged the full fee.
I will send you a reminder for your appointments, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment please update the calendar system, email or call me to do so.
If you have any further questions about this policy please reach out and let me know.
