Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand long-held patterns, improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, or find a clearer sense of direction. Some people come to therapy knowing what they would like to work on or discuss, others don’t, and we use the space to explore why they might be feeling off. I usually see adolescents and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship concerns, eating disorders & the transition to motherhood.

Phoebe Beveridge
Psychologist, MA, PsyBA General
Carlton North, VIC 3054
I work with adults experiencing relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, reassurance-seeking, jealousy or comparison, and reactions that feel disproportionate to what triggered them. These patterns tend to repeat across relationships, and often sit alongside high personal standards or a habit of putting others' needs first. These patterns may have developed as responses to childhood relationships that were inconsistent, critical, or unpredictable. We work to both understand where these patterns came from and how they show up today to work towards lasting change.

Carlton North, VIC 3054
Many of the people who come to me have reached a point where they’re ready for something to shift. They’re tired of repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected, or sensing that life could be different but not knowing where to begin. Some are navigating depression, anxiety, or grief; others are carrying the impact of trauma, family violence, or crime. Many are simply starting their personal development journey and feel unsure where or how to start. What they all share is a readiness to understand themselves more deeply and take steps toward meaningful change.

Lucy Walton
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General

Typically, my clients have tried the more traditional methods of therapy that promote coping, but ultimately they feel stuck in a cycle of collapsing, then patching up and soldiering on. They may have received different diagnoses along the way, but nothing seems to quite capture their experience of life. They feel alone and like there is something deeply wrong with them. They struggle with a sense of self, and worry about what others might think of them. They are still hopeful that things can get better, but they don't know how to make it happen.

Trauma and ongoing stress can leave survival energy stuck in the nervous system. We may adapt by seeking or avoiding certain situations, or hold tension to protect ourselves from difficult feelings and sensations. While these strategies once helped us cope and survive, they can also leave us feeling trapped and disconnected. I work by joining with you with sensitivity and compassion, to bring gentle awareness and support to underlying patterns, without pressure to force change. At your pace, we create the conditions for the nervous system to gradually settle and reorganise, allowing inner security, vitality and connection to emerge.
