About me

My practice
My name is Hiro (they/them) I am a Counsellor located in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia.

I am a queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, mixed Japanese and white person. My lived experience being queer, trans, neurodivergent and POC informs my work, seeing me embrace an anti-oppressive, de-colonising, intersectional feminist and queer lens.

I enjoy working with the LGBTIQA+ community, people questioning their sexuality and or gender identity and allies. I have several years professional experience working as a Counsellor at a community health organisation that specialises in working with the LGBTIQ+ community and people living with and affected by HIV. I also have an interest in working with the intersections of identity for QTPOC folks. I am passionate about supporting my community to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

I have an integrative counselling approach, which means I utilise a range of counselling modalities best suited to the individual's needs. I am primarily trained in Person-Centred Counselling and use interventions from Attachment-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and other modalities where suitable. Underlying my practice is an LGBTIQA+ affirmative, cross-cultural, trauma-informed practice.

I am currently providing individual counselling sessions to people aged 18 years and older located in Australia.
