Hi, I'm Shagoon Maurya
MA Β· Counsellor & Psychotherapist Β· ACA Level 2 Β· PACFA
I'm an experienced, compassionate counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people navigate the emotional, behavioural and mental challenges that life brings. My style is warm, collaborative and practical, we work together to make sense of what's happening and build steady, sustainable change.
As an integrative therapist, I'm trained in a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), person-centred, solution-focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing, and I tailor them to you rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed or simply ready for something to shift, you're welcome here.

You're not alone in this
A few words from people who took that first step.
Good things to know
Yes. I offer in-person sessions in Melbourne for clients who prefer to meet face to face. For everyone else, sessions are held online (secure video) or by phone, so you can connect from anywhere in the world.
I'm based in Australia and work with clients all over the world via secure telehealth, across time zones. I see adolescents, young adults, adults and couples.
It's a relaxed, no-obligation chat so you can share what's going on, ask questions, and get a feel for whether we're a good fit, before committing to anything.
I'm an integrative therapist, so rather than using one fixed method I draw on a broad range of evidence-based modalities and tailor them to you, including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness-based techniques (MBCT), person-centred, solution-focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing.
Yes. What you share stays private, within the standard legal and ethical limits that keep everyone safe. I'll always be upfront about those.
Your first step starts here
Reaching out can feel like the hardest part. Send a short message and I'll get back to you personally, usually within one business day.
