ABOUT
We are a diverse team of health and psychology practitioners located at this calm and welcoming clinic in the coastal town of Sawtell. We pay respects to the traditional custodians of the land, the Gumbaygirr People, and recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded.
We offer a wide range of services including individual psychotherapy with a team of psychologists, social workers and counsellors, a diverse range of therapeutic approaches including Compassion Focussed Therapy, EMDR and EFT, as well as physical therapies including physiotherapy and remedial massage. We believe that everyone holds the key to their own healing potential and that the role of the clinician is to guide and support this unique journey of recovery.
Moving towards a meaningful, connected life is within everyone's reach, where we can treat ourselves, others and the land with nurturance and kindness.
Alex Halsted
Psychologist
I am originally from London and have been living in this beautiful part of the world for 12 years now. My therapeutic approach, as a psychologist, has a foundation of mindfulness and self-compassion, helping to develop more awareness towards all the different aspects that make us who we are and becoming more present to each moment around us while learning to treat ourselves in a kind, loving and nurturing way.
The modalities I weave through this practise include EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Schema Therapy and Inner Child Work.
I have particular interest in Eco-Psychology and believe we cannot seperate the healing of ourselves with connection and healing of the land. I also have a passion for supporting people on their unique spiritual path and discovering more meaning and purpose in their lives.

I am a psychologist working with people in their teens through to later life. My aim is to help people find a way through issues that may be holding them back and to move towards a rich and full life. I subscribe to a wholistic approach to mental health, considering childhood and family issues, past traumas, health issues, balancing a healthy lifestyle with other priorities, values and beliefs, as well as managing school, work, and relationships.
I use evidence-based therapies tailored to the individual, including mindfulness-based therapies (especially Compassion Focussed Therapy), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, EMDR and EFT tapping, and trauma-informed counselling, paying careful attention to the impact of thoughts and memories on physical feelings and somatic sensations.

Joan Low Neville
Counsellor | Child and Family Therapist
Hi, my name is Joan and I am a Trauma Counsellor and Child and Family Therapist in private practice. I am originally from Singapore and have been a Counsellor for over 10 years in various social services, school settings and in Domestic and Family Violence specialist services. I am passionate about trauma healing and recovery, especially with women and children. I work from a strengths-based, trauma-informed and integrative approach and have a special passion in working with complex trauma in the Domestic and Family Violence space, advocating for the voices of women and children to be heard, while promoting a sense of safety, healing and growth.
I weave in a number of different therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Family Systems work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Informed Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-based interventions and Child Play Therapy and believe that early intervention especially with children who have experienced trauma can make a significant contribution towards healthy development and wellbeing.
My hope is to support you to feel safe and respected from our first interaction and listen closely to what is going to make counselling helpful and worth your while. I believe it is important to make the counselling experience a hopeful and optimistic one. I hope to put at ease any anxiety or hesitation you may have about counselling and walk away feeling more empowered, uplifted, supported and valued as an individual.

Graduating in 1990 from Curtin University (Perth WA) Debra comes to ‘Flow Psychology Counselling and Well Being’ with over 30 years experience as a physiotherapist in both the public and private sectors. For the last 18 years Debra has enjoyed living, working and raising her family on the wonderful Coffs Coast and Dorrigo Plateau.
Chronic headache & migraine management is a very under-resourced, poorly understood and poorly managed area. As a migraine sufferer herself, Debra is well aware of the gap in support for this debilitating condition. Over the years she has sought to broaden her skill base to help those attending her practice with headaches and migraines. This has taken her on a long journey.
Debra is now the only Level 2 Watson Headache® approach clinician in the region & is currently undertaking her Level 3 Certification in this very promising approach to headache & migraine management. She has also completed numerous courses including chronic pain management, breathing retraining, vestibular & dizziness management, advanced cervical spine assessment & management courses & attended international headache symposiums/conferences.
Debra is excited to now be able to offer a dedicated headache clinic to the Coffs Coast and prides herself in offering an evidence based, client centred, holistic & educational approach to headache & migraine management.

I work as a psychologist and draw upon years of experience and my own personal practice. Life can be challenging and my aim is to fully acknowledge this and bring a grounded, safe and deeply present approach to our time together. I aim to create a compassionate, warm and alive space as I walk alongside you on this journey. This journey of making sense of all that arises in your daily life, and the multitude of things that have shaped your life in different ways. My role is to work collaboratively with you, as you create meaningful change in your life, bringing kindness and compassion to yourself and more connection and attunement with your unique and precious self.
In my work I use evidence based modalities including Internal Family Systems, mindfulness based therapies including Mindfulness Integrated CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I bring a holistical perspective that encompasses the mind, body, heart and spirit. I am interested in the intrinsic healing power of nature and I am also interested in fostering creativity within the therapeutic space.
