I’m honoured to have been recognised as one of the top 3 therapists in Sydney in 2025, serving as the principal therapist specialising in relationship therapy. With over 20 years of experience working with diverse cultures, I strive to provide compassionate support to couples. I also enjoy mentoring and guiding fellow counsellors in their professional journeys.

We all lose our way at times and may need support to get back on track and reignite our relationship, no matter how long or short you have been together. My aim is not for you to keep coming to me but to empower you to develop skills—such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection—so you can navigate life independently.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space and use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to provide practical strategies to revitalise your connection. I work alongside a team of dedicated therapists who share a similar approach, ensuring our clients receive cohesive and supportive care.

My name is Stephanie Ursino, and I am an experienced counsellor and social worker withover ten years of experience working with couples and families.

Stephanie is dedicated to providing a compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental space for my clients. I approach every individual with empathy and professionalism, ensuring they feel heard, valued and supported throughout their journey.

Alex takes an integrative person-centred approach to counselling. Accordingly, he offers his clients a collaborative space to explore their difficulties on a deeply personal level, unveiling layers of meaning scarcely offered by contemporary medical and ‘one-size-fits-all’ models of psychotherapy. In this sense, Alex encourages the emergence of creative solutions to his clients’ goals in ways that support their uniqueness and authenticity.

Alex sees people from all walks of life, and his clinical interests are diverse. However, he is particularly interested in working together with individuals experiencing addiction, shame, low self-worth, anxiety, anger, burnout, and relational difficulties.

Often, Alex works together with his clients to gain insight into their past experiences, and how the legacies of the past endure in their present difficulties. This encourages a basis of compassionate self-knowledge from which skilled changes can emerge. He also offers self-regulatory techniques around sensory grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness, and is passionate about helping his clients identify and engage with their intrinsic values in building more meaningful lives. 

Alex holds a Master of Counselling from the University of Notre Dame and is registered as a Certified Practicing Counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). As such, he is committed to upholding the highest standard of ethical practice and continuously deepening his knowledge through ongoing education and professional development.
