Our Team

Our Team

At Sydney Wide Counselling Service, our reputation is built on the strength of our highly experienced and collaborative team of therapists, dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, teenagers, and families.

Led by Paula Barham, one of Sydney’s leading couples therapists, our clinic brings together a carefully selected team of clinicians who share a consistent, high standard of care, grounded in evidence-based therapy, professionalism, and genuine support.

We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive practice, with therapists from a range of cultural backgrounds, including Arabic, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Spanish-speaking. This allows us to offer culturally responsive care and multilingual support, ensuring our clients feel understood, respected, and supported.

Relationship Therapy Team

Our relationship therapy team, led by Paula Barham, brings together some of Sydney’s most trusted and experienced couples therapists, including Belkis Diaz, Maria Simonova, Rebecca Day, Ariane Fuchs, Stephanie Ursino, and Theo Hartanto.

Using evidence-based approaches such as EFT, Gottman Method, and PACT-informed therapy, our team delivers a consistent, structured, and results-focused approach to couples counselling.

We support couples through all stages of their relationship — from communication breakdowns and recurring conflict to rebuilding trust and deepening emotional connection — providing the clarity, direction, and support needed to create lasting change.

Teen & Family Therapy Team

Our teen and family therapy team, led by Stephanie Ursino, includes experienced clinicians such as Hope Rosenberg and Rebekah Amani, all dedicated to supporting adolescents and families through complex emotional and behavioural challenges.

We work collaboratively with both teenagers and parents to address concerns such as anxiety, school stress, behavioural issues, and family conflict, offering clear, practical strategies alongside compassionate, supportive care.

Hope Rosenberg specialises in working with teenagers and adolescents experiencing anxiety and eating disorders, providing targeted support to help young people build healthier coping strategies and improve emotional wellbeing.

Our focus is on strengthening communication, building emotional regulation, and helping families feel more connected, stable, and confident moving forward.

Individual Therapy Team (Men & Women)

Our individual therapy team, including experienced clinicians such as Jordan Taranto, Alex Quirk, Hope Rosenberg, and Theo Hartanto, delivers personalised, results-focused support for men and women across a wide range of mental health concerns.

We support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and personal challenges, with a strong focus on practical strategies, emotional insight, and long-term change.

EAP & Workplace Support

Our team also provides professional Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, offering confidential and responsive counselling support for employees experiencing stress, burnout, and workplace pressures.

As a local Inner West provider, we are known for our flexibility, fast access to appointments, and continuity of care, with both face-to-face and online sessions available.

At Sydney Wide Counselling Service, you are supported not just by one therapist, but by a connected, experienced team committed to your wellbeing and progress.

Our focus is simple — to deliver exceptional therapy that creates real, lasting change.
