ALICJA
Director & Principal Therapist at H-L Therapy
Hello, my name is Alicja. I am the Director, Principal Therapist and Mental Health Clinician at the H-L Therapy. I have completed a Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Gerontology qualifications, both from the University of South Australia. I have also completed a Certificate in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Diploma of Hypno-Counselling and Certificate of Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy. I am an accredited Mental Health Social Worker, member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, and Clinical Member of the Australian Hypnotherapists Association.
Being born and raised in Poland, I’m fluent in both English and Polish, and I’m interested in working as a therapist with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I especially welcome the interaction and stories that people bring into the therapy sessions. I ensure that the people I work with feel welcomed, included, and comfortable in our sessions. I bring with me over 20 years of professional experience providing interdisciplinary, functional and mental health assessments and clinical services for adults in a range of multidisciplinary practice settings. This includes people with mental illness and emotional challenges, veterans and their families, older people and people with disabilities.
Prior to establishing the H- L Therapy, I have supported people in many different interdisciplinary, clinical, and managerial roles. This included the roles of Assessor with the Aged Care Assessment Team, Mental Health Clinician in both hospital and community mental health settings, Palliative Social Worker in the Modbury Hospital, Client Coordinator in the Brain Injury Unit, Social Work Clinician at the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre, as well as Allied Health Clinician, Case Manager, Restorative Clinician, Project Officer and Clinical Lead for Social Work in Domiciliary Care.
In my free moments, I enjoy painting, bushwalking, listening to music, and searching for short inspirational stores to assist the insight and learning in therapy sessions. Being an artist with a special interest in oil, acrylic, and ink painting, I often use artistic exploration activities in therapy sessions.

KESHAV

Hello, my name is Keshav. I am a CECAT Certified Art Therapsit, Process -Oriented Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I am a PACFA certified practising practitioner with a postgraduate degree in holistic counselling and psychotherapy from Metavision Institute, My training has given me a toolkit of experience to work with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, body symptoms and dreams, trauma, addictions, conflict, diversity, and relationships.
I use the process-oriented modality. Process work integrates Jungian psychology, Taoism, systems theory and other spiritual traditions. I have a holistic approach to mental and physical health, personalising my approach to each client’s needs. My work incorporates talk therapy, art therapy, somatic therapy, meditation, breathwork, dream analysis, and nature-based therapy. From my personal experience, psychotherapy has helped me develop a new skill set to manage challenging situations.
I had a successful career as a teacher working with adolescents and young adults with various learning challenges. I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Tamil and have a strong understanding of south Asian culture due to my Indian ancestry and being a migrant.
My clients can request home visits or use a secure online Zoom meeting to connect with me from their home or workplace. My main goal is to make sure that my client is treated with respect, compassion, and celebration for who they are now so that they can get the assistance they need. I am committed to assisting and nurturing individuals in discovering their unique strengths and wisdom.
Other clinicians are also available.
H-L-THERAPY: HEALTH TO LIFESTYLE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
H-L Therapists rely on the voice mail system to respond to client inquiries. If at times our phone is not being answered, this is because we are engaged in direct consultations with clients and unable to answer the calls during our therapy sessions. Please be assured that all phone and email inquiries will be replied to promptly at the next available opportunity.
We also engage administrative support to assist us with client paperwork, accounting, and invoicing. Our administrative support staff are not available for direct client contact but rather work behind the scenes to allow the smooth operation of the business.
