Agata Iskander

COUNSELLOR AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST 
B.COMN,   M.ED,   M.COUNS

My name is Agata Iskander and I am a registered counsellor. I support children from the ages of 5 through to teens, their families, as well as couples trying to conceive. 

​

With a background in Education, Child Protection, and Intensive Family Support Services, I have worked with children and families for over 18 years. I have worked in schools, as a primary school teacher and counsellor, delivering psychoeducational programs, as well as, individual counselling through various NGOs and now my private practice.

​

I have extensive training in trauma-aware care, domestic violence (David Mandel training), CBT, interpersonal, solution-focused, and narrative therapies, and play therapy for children under 10 years of age. I continue to participate regularly in professional development so that I have the latest knowledge and skills to better my therapeutic practice and your experience of therapy.  

​

I work with children and youth, often in collaboration with their families, to achieve the best outcomes possible for all my clients. 

​

​

Additionally, I run individual and group therapy sessions for fertility counselling, with a personal in-depth knowledge of the hardships and challenges of infertility and the IVF process, miscarriage, and loss.

​

I have now expanded to providing personal and group therapy sessions for expecting parents, parents of NICU/SCN babies, and support for parents for their babies’ first years of life, including postnatal depression in both mothers and fathers.  

​

My therapeutic aim is to create a genuine human experience of connection, with a focus on holistic healing and support. 

​

​

​

I am located on Brisbane's Northside and arrange home visits within a 20km radius of Gordon Park. I am also available for online counselling sessions for clients who live outside this radius.
