Martine Brieger

"O lord, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small” - I love the truth and shared humanity in this old Breton fisherman's prayer. By extension, I think of good therapy as a safe harbour where we can rest, repair and renavigate from.

As a psychotherapist trained in Hakomi and Gestalt therapies, my first priority is to help you slow down and tune in to your deeper, wiser self. Alongside this I embrace imagery, metaphors, and dreams to help explore what plain language alone can't quite reach. ​Diving for Pearls, my therapy practice, is based on the work we do in therapy to go below surface presentations to discover and reconnect with the pearls of wisdom deep within us.

Clients come to therapy to work on their trauma, anxiety, grief or relationships, and I welcome your therapy goal, whatever it may be.

I hold Clinical Registration with PACFA and work online from Maitland, NSW. ​​
