Jen Kokoska


Counsellor

ACA Registered Counsellor

Welcome to a space where healing, growth, and connection converge.

As a compassionate therapist specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), I am dedicated to supporting both youth and adults as they navigate life’s complexities. Whether you’re coping with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, a new diagnosis of ADHD or autism, trauma, or significant life transitions, my holistic and integrative approach will help you find balance and well-being.

With a special focus on neurodivergent individuals, I blend therapeutic modalities, including somatic therapies, to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we’ll build resilience, foster clarity, and work toward meaningful change, honouring your unique journey.

In my practice, therapy goes beyond traditional talk methods. Alongside the structured techniques of ACT, CBT, and SFT, I integrate Walk and Talk Therapy and Yoga Movement as Therapy, offering you a chance to reconnect with both your mind and body in ways that feel most natural to you.

I meet you exactly where you are, offering compassionate, nonjudgmental care whether you're navigating trauma, difficult transitions, or seeking tools for resilience. I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Outside of therapy, I find balance through family time, gardening, and swimming—reminders of the importance of nurturing both body and mind.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to my practice. My own understanding of how neurodivergence shapes daily life allows me to apply therapeutic approaches not only in my work but also in my own life and family. I’m passionate about helping neurodivergent individuals find their voice, embrace their uniqueness, and navigate the complexities of mental health and identity. In my practice, I celebrate your strengths and gifts while working through challenges.

I invite you to begin your journey toward well-being and fulfillment with me. Together, we will create a path to healing that is right for you.

Louise Nenasheff


Counsellor

Graduate Certificate in Counselling, Bachelor of Counselling, Advanced Diploma in Counselling, Diploma in Counselling
Certified Sex Addiction Candidate (IITAP), ACA Level 2 Member No. 17481, CCAA Provisional Member No. 501413

My name is Louise, and my husband of 24 years and I have six children. Some of our children are being schooled at home whilst others are in the school system (public and private). In light of this, I am aware of the challenges and joys that parenting and family life bring.

In life, we face challenging and difficult events and sometimes it helps to talk these over with someone outside of the situation. As a counsellor, I can ‘walk alongside you’ during these times and help you uncover and move forward in areas you may feel ‘stuck’ in.

I provide a confidential, friendly, caring and non-judgemental space for you to talk openly and honestly about life’s current challenges. Looking at your emotional, physical, social and spiritual needs with a client centred approach, I aim to see you come to a place of growth, healing and freedom.

I can help in areas of: infidelity, pornography, sex addiction, sexual abuse, general wellbeing, relationship difficulties, depression, stress, anxiety, goal setting, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts and lifestyle changes.

I have a special interest in helping people navigate and overcome the challenges they face due to living in a highly sexualised society. For this reason, I am currently furthering my education by studying a Master of Science in Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health in Psychosexual Therapy).

Please access my website for further information and to book an appointment. I provide both online (Zoom) and in person appointments. I am a registered provider with some health funds. If you have private health cover you may be eligible for a rebate depending on your level of cover.
