Therapy Dog and Emotional Support Specialist

Hi, I’m Bear — Emotional Support Specialist here at Uniquely You Psychology. While I may not have a psychology degree, I’ve mastered the art of silent support, soulful stares, and perfectly timed snuggles.

My job is to help you feel a little more comfortable the moment you walk through the door. Whether it’s calming nerves, offering a warm paw, or just being a steady presence, I’m always here doing my best work — quietly and with tail wags.

I specialize in:

• Unconditional support

• Offering gentle pressure therapy (aka leaning on your leg)

• Distracting you from your overthinking with my cuteness

• Accepting pats, belly rubs, and compliments with grace

If you need a little extra comfort, I’m always happy to hang out with you in the waiting room — no judgment, no advice, just unconditional love. P.S. I work best with treats. 🦴

Registered Psychologist

I started my career in helping others over 20 years ago as a disability support worker. I have a range of skills from the many walks of life I have experienced. Working with children has been a highlight for me as my inner child is close to the surface. 

Attachment theory has always been another solid ‘base’ to my work and I find goes hand-in-hand to the trauma informed care and practice model that I always use with clients. Acceptance and Commitment therapy took up a lot of my focus for many years as I found it incredibly helpful to manage my own ups and downs of life. I have branched out to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and more recently Schema Therapy. All of these different therapeutic styles mean that at any point in session I can utilise strategies, metaphors and develop my understanding of a client’s situation more effectively.

Experience in treating:

Trauma, Mood disorders, Personality disorders, Parenting, Relationship difficulties and Neurodiversity, including Autism, ADHD and Intellectual disabilities.

Therapy Dog and Director of Pawsitivity 

Hi! I’m Mio, your Director of Pawsitivity at Uniquely You Psychology — here to sprinkle joy, offer comfort, and wag away the worries.

I’m not a licensed therapist, but I am highly qualified in tail thumps, gentle snuggles, and goofy grins that remind you it's okay to take a breath. My main responsibilities include welcoming humans with warmth, lightening heavy moments, and occasionally stealing hearts (and maybe the odd tissue box).

What I bring to the team:
– A calm presence when things feel a bit much
– Goofy energy when laughter is the best medicine
– Zero judgment, endless love

If you need a little fluff support during your visit, just say the word. I’m always happy to sit beside you — no advice, no fixing, just pure pawsitive vibes. P.S. You’re not alone. I’ve got you. 🐾

Social Worker

You wake up already drained. Your jaw’s tight, your chest heavy. Coffee goes cold on the bench while your mind replays yesterday’s conversation… did you say the wrong thing? You smile at work, nod in conversations but inside you feel numb or like you’re about to break.

This is what trauma can feel like. Not always the big, obvious moments, sometimes it’s the quiet ways it lingers making it hard to be present, to feel at ease or to breathe. Maybe your pain comes from childhood wounds, unsafe relationships or the weight of systems that should have protected you but didn’t? Whatever it is, you’re not broken and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I’ve worked alongside children, young people and families navigating trauma and adversity. My approach is relational, trauma informed and grounded in trust and connection. I adopt a PACE approach (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) to create a safe, imaginative, and authentic space where healing can happen. I believe growth occurs in relationships that feel real and supportive.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, make sense of where they come from and find ways to move forward that feel safe and right for you. You’ll learn how to set boundaries without guilt, regulate your emotions without shutting down and reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and attention. You deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to live in a way that feels free, whole and true to you.

I offer a unique environment where you have the option to meet Freud the “Furapist” my friendly, playful, loving and affectionate Cavoodle. Freud is incredibly attuned to people’s emotions, offering comfort and support. If you'd like, Freud can be part of your journey and join our sessions providing extra comfort as we work together. If you're ready to take the first step or just want to explore how things could be different.

Feel free to reach out and can have chat. I'm here to listen and support you on your journey.             

Taking bookings from May 26th, 2025.

Feel free to email me at chloe@narrativepathways.com.au or give me a call at 0451 754 424.

Therapeutic Mentor

I'm Viv, a Therapeutic Mentor at UYPS, currently in the final stages of receiving my ACA counselling registration. I offer affordably priced sessions to make ongoing support a realistic option for clients of all ages—whether child, teen, or adult.

Over the past six years, I’ve worked in psychosocial support roles alongside individuals experiencing mental health challenges and the effects of trauma, as well as with individuals who are neurodivergent, each with their own ways of experiencing the world.

My approach is rooted in the belief that each person already holds the insight they need within them, it’s often just a matter of being asked the right questions and having a steady, curious presence when things feel particularly tough. I believe we’re deeply sensitive to everything we’re exposed to and for this reason, I find it valuable to explore and gently analyse habits, history, and coping strategies we develop. 

If you are curious about working together, contact me via email: vivienne.awf.therapy@gmail.com and I'll be in touch soon. I'd be glad to hear from you.
