About Sherridan green

Hi, I’m Sherridan Green (she/her)

My working style…

“Every moment you live in the present, you are serving the future.”

My personal style as a therapist is attentive, compassionate, and supportive. You will experience being listened to and responded to with curiosity and authenticity. I provides a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your deepest concerns.

The therapy will be tailored uniquely for you in a collaborative process of listening and exploring reoccurring themes, behavioural concerns, and conditioning. I will meet you where you are at and support you to continue down your life’s path.

I am a gestalt pyschotherapist, EMDR therapist, Existential Life Coach and a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor. And am grounded in a range of evidence-based experiential work, IFS – Internal Family System, body grounding and breathe awareness.

I work with people to develop their awareness of who and how they are in the world. I support individuals and couples on journeys of self-discovery through understanding vital areas of their lives, including emotional development, identity, responses to the world, awareness, process of enquiry, living skills, and capacity for self-responsibility.

I offer you a relational process to reconnect with all areas of your life, here’s some of my story…

I discovered Gestalt Relational Psychotherapy around the year 1999, and was amazed and thankful for its transformative process. I had 7 years (on and off) of personal therapy for trauma, post-natal depression/existential crisis, alcohol and drug problems, feeling confused, lost and misunderstood.

Gestalt therapy helped me feel heard and seen, rather than a problem to solve. I got the attention I needed and wanted and I was able to believe in myself again! It was as if I had forgotten who I was and what was important to me. I wanted to know more and this lead to attending the Gestalt Therapy Australia’s course and completing the 4 year Advanced Diploma by 2011.

Training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been yet another transformative experience and is an effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. See therapy page

A few years ago I discovered I was dyslexic, this made such a lot of sense, as I felt I expressed myself differently and could feel misunderstood. This includes how I hear and see things as I am a picture thinker, having multi-sensory awareness, disorientation and misinterpretation or pronunciation of words.

In 2016. I had an idea for a meditation – a series of words that inspired you to look around you, visual examples that then created the ‘keys for thinking feeling being’ observational exercises. A tool to assist with becoming more present and aware of the world around you and your inner-self. These exercises are now in a working journal and available for purchase. See resources page

For over 35 years, I worked in the Arts & Culture and Events industry, and I understand the demands of being in the spotlight for performers to presenters or anyone working as part of the creative team or crew; I can support you with confidence, perception, endurance, and life direction.

As of January 2023 I completed the Existential Life Coaching training certificate at the UK New College of Psychotherapy and Counselling. In doing this course I came to understand myself as an existentialist – someone who explores questions related to the meaning and purpose of human existence. Common concepts in existentialist thought include crisis, anxiety, and mortality in the face of an ever-changing world, as well as what is authenticity, courage, and virtue. See coaching page

I understand the benefit of a confidant whether it be in the form of therapy or coaching, someone you can discuss your deepest thoughts, who will ponder with you your life desires and who has the skills to support you to gain confidence to fulfil them. This work will give you the tools and knowledge to manage anxiety, anger, depression, confusion, loss, grief, overwhelm, and lack of purpose.

Everyone is welcome, I work with people from 16 to 80+ – teenagers, women, men, and couples, however you identify yourself, LGBTQIA+ folk and wherever you are from.

I look forward to your email or text.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which I work and live and pay my respects to Indigenous Elders past, present and emerging.
