Our Team

Bethanie Hannagam

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker - Principal Therapist

I am deeply passionate about providing a modern and holistic approach to therapy. My practice is built on a commitment to offering a safe and nurturing environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore their emotions and achieve meaningful change.

I have a deep background in various trauma settings and public hospitals, where I have gained expertise in tackling complex mental health issues such as personality disorders and complex trauma. My involvement in child protection and child welfare has also broadened my insight into family dynamics and the distinct requirements of individuals at various life stages.

I am trained in several evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as: Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have completed Levels 1 and 2 training in the Gottman Method, specialising in treating affairs and trauma within relationships. My approach is client-centered and empathetic, ensuring that each therapy session is tailored to the specific needs of those I work with.
