About

Shane Neville

Therapeutic approaches

Shane works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma recovery, and the impact of shame, self-criticism, and low mood. He is especially interested in supporting clients navigating relationship challenges, including jealousy and difficulties with trust or emotional safety, and helps people build emotional regulation skills, set healthier boundaries, and develop greater confidence, clarity, and steadiness.

Shane also enjoys supporting parents to navigate the emotional and relational challenges that can arise in family life, and to build more connected, values-aligned ways of relating at home. He brings a collaborative, respectful, and flexible style to therapy, always honouring each person’s expertise in their own life. His work is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, and he is passionate about creating a calm, respectful, and emotionally safe space for clients, and is thoughtful about the ways gender and lived experience can shape what feels comfortable in therapy.

Outside of work, Shane enjoys spending time with his family and friends, getting out into nature, and staying active through bike riding and other forms of exercise. He balances outdoor adventures with quieter creative time, such as drawing, meditating, and relaxing with quality TV, all as part of a mindful approach to recharging.

Centre Self Collective values the lived experience and contributions of people from all cultures, genders, sexualities, bodies, spiritualities, ages, abilities and backgrounds. We are committed to cultivating inclusive environments and are dedicated to building a sustainable and an environmentally aware practice. 

Acknowledgement and Commitment to First Nations Justice. Centre Self Collective acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and offer care. We recognise their deep and enduring connection to land, waters, skies, and community - and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We honour the wisdom, strength, and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all communities. As social workers and mental health practitioners, we hold a deep awareness of the systemic harm our profession has contributed to, including the forced removal of children, policies of assimilation, and the ongoing disruption of families, cultures, and Country. These injustices continue to reverberate through intergenerational trauma and ongoing structural inequities. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. Centre Self Collective stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We wholeheartedly support the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the journey toward Treaty in Victoria, and the principle of Aboriginal self-determination.
