Michael Briggs

Counsellor and Psychotherapist - ‘Spirited Therapy’

Welcome to Spirited Therapy.  Founder, Michael Briggs, is an EMDR-trained and existentially-informed counsellor and psychotherapist with extensive experience working with a range of issues including anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD, complex and childhood/attachment trauma.

With a strong emphasis on client-focused care, I understand that everyone’s path to healing is unique, and offer a personalised approach to ensure that your therapy journey is tailored to your specific needs and goals. I take an integrative approach to therapy, combining person-centred approaches with cognitive (CBT) and somatic therapies, and EMDR. Above all, I offer a safe space to feel understood and heard.

Compassion lies at the heart of our approach, as we believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone to effective therapy and that, as Irvin Yalom puts it, "it is the relationship that heals".

Al Audus

Counsellor

Hi, I’m Alanna (Al)

I created Inclusive Minds for those seeking inclusive therapy in Hobart and beyond. I know it can be incredibly frustrating trying to find safe and inclusive support when you are already trying to navigate mental health issues. That’s why I’m here to help you get to the bottom of what is keeping you stuck. You know you’ve got it in you to move forward, you just need the support to make it happen, and I can help you get there.

I have extensive experience in supporting all women (including trans women), nonbinary and gender-diverse individuals, LGBTQIA+ folks, and allies as they navigate trauma, domestic violence, self-esteem, ADHD, anxiety and depression, and identity challenges.

I’m here to help

Clients often tell me they feel at ease during our counselling sessions, appreciating my conversational and supportive approach. I use evidence-based therapies like EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and strengths-based approaches to help you address the root causes of your challenges and equip you with practical tools to thrive.
