About Me
My name is Simon O’Kane and Trident Therapies is my vocation. My career began at an acute mental health crisis team in Redfern, Sydney working for NSW Health. I have worked in the government and private sectors and through these experiences I became interested in trauma and the resultant challenges we face because of trauma. I have degrees in Theology and Social Work and I have been trained and supervised in in a broad range of therapeutic modalities including Family Based Therapy for Eating Disorders (FBTE), DBT, Brief Intervention Therapy, Play Therapy and Trauma Informed Therapy. I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
Therapy Space
I have the great privilege of working with my friends from Wild and Kind and they have graciously allowed me to use their spaces for therapeutic work.
Transpersonal Approach
With over 20 years’ experience in the mental health field, I have worked with all client groups and ages including those who are neurodiverse and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ and First Nation.
My Vision
To harness my experience and wisdom in a therapeutic space that is conducive to healing and restoration. To provide a therapeutic space where all people feel safe, included and understood. To offer non-judgement and relational presence for those who have experienced trauma and suffering.
My Mission
To provide therapy that instils hope and healing, which is practical and evidence based. To continue to develop my practice and education so I may provide relevant and current therapies.
