Georgie Igoe

Georgie is a visual artist and psychotherapist living on beautiful and stolen Dharawal land. She is an intimate and playful person who is passionate about the relational experience and the healing that can occur within connection. Core to her therapeutic approach is the awareness of our interdependence with the natural world, our embodied experience, and the belief that we are inherently creative. She believes these approaches deeply support the change and healing process.

Her father is from boggy Strokestown, Ireland, and from a young age, she has had an unwavering connection to her Irish heritage, which deeply influences her approach. Her private practice name, ‘Fite Fuaite,’ is a Gaeilge phrase meaning firmly interwoven and inextricably mixed up. Georgie believes that healing is multifaceted and, like weaving, the process can beautifully integrate many threads of our lives on a journey that is both separate and bound up with others. This can be a beautiful and messy process of learning and growth.

She is a Mental Health Accredited Social Worker with over ten years’ experience working in intergenerational trauma and healing across Dharawal Country, Mparntwe (Alice Springs), and Naarm (Melbourne).

Her training is in Relational Gestalt Therapy, and she holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts (Indigenous Studies). She is currently completing a Master of Gestalt Therapy with Gestalt Therapy Brisbane.

Georgie specialises in grief and shame, adolescence, birth and motherhood, trauma, and intergenerational healing. She works one-on-one, in groups, and in community organisations as a reflective supervisor.
