Mim Kempson is a narrative therapist and couples counsellor accredited by the Australian Counselling Association. She integrates a variety of perspectives into her practice, such as EFT, positive self-talk techniques, internal family systems, Carl Jung's archetypal theory (inner child work) and Marshall Rosenerg's nonviolent communication.
She steers away from diagnostic frameworks and clinical ways of thinking, taking on a more conversational, creative approach to therapy. With a 'past life' in journalism, media and communications, a strong theme of storytelling also runs through her work, with a pinch of art therapy. Mim welcomes LGBTQI+ folks and couples that are queer, polyamorous and/or cross-cultural. Mim also has experience working with transgender people throughout all stages of their transition (pre-coming out through to years post-transition) and with people living with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Family Therapist
Counsellor
Nilly is a compassionate and caring family therapist dedicated to helping couples and families re-connect, resolve issues and improve their relationships.
Nilly’s philosophy is that our home should be a “fortress for wellbeing”. Over time, unresolved issues can erode this feeling and create tension and stress in a place where we should feel relaxed, happy and able to show our authentic selves.
Through the use of evidence based practices, Nilly helps couples and families develop lasting strategies to communicate better, resolve conflict and heal emotional wounds to create more peaceful and happy homes.
Sometimes, when families are in conflict, the underlying issues that are causing emotional pain may not be obvious. Using a systemic lens, Nilly helps her clients to identify and change these unhealthy dynamics and replace them with more constructive patterns of behaviour, thereby creating stronger connections and more positive relationships between all family members.
Some families may benefit from the fact that, despite growing up in Australia, Nilly wasn’t born here and speaks both English and Farsi. This means she is aware of and sensitive to many unique cultural issues experienced by those with Asian (including Middle Eastern) backgrounds.
