Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Psychologists and Therapists in Carnegie, VIC

Noah Charalambous
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
I draw on a variety of modalities (TEAM-CBT, ACT, DBT Skills) to cater treatment directly to your goals and needs.
Come as you are; leave as you could be. More than a feel-good slogan, this reflects how we approach therapy. Ark Psychology Co is a place where you are welcome just as you are. And, at the same time, we recognise that you may not be where you want to be in life. Something—a mental health concern, trauma, a person, or even yourself—might be getting in the way between you and the life you want. Our goal is to help you move toward the life you want to live; to become who you are capable of becoming.

Tania Curlis
Social Worker, AMHSW
Serves Area
We all feel stuck sometimes, making sense of ongoing grief, loss, or life’s uncertainty. Do you want more time, freedom, to feel heard or to make sense of the 'right' next steps for you? You may want to feel you have work that is more meaningful, happier relationships, or to resolve current or past difficult experiences. It would be a privilege to support you through the challenges and changes you are experiencing in your life, making sense of it together. Therapy is a partnership of courage; a willingness to step into the unknown, to find a more satisfying way of living and understanding life and self.

Together, we work to help you reconnect with your true self, build self-compassion, and gain the clarity and tools you need to navigate life’s difficulties, and to attain your goals, be they emotional balance, stronger relationships or personal growth.

Kat O'Mara
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L2
Serves Area
You’ve always been the one who holds it all together: for your children, your partner, your family. Now you’re quietly falling apart. Perhaps you’re coping with the pain of estrangement, the aftermath of a controlling or emotionally abusive relationship, or the exhaustion of trying to keep everyone else afloat while ignoring your own needs. On the outside, you seem capable; inside, you feel anxious, alone, or disconnected. The old strategies like perfectionism, people-pleasing and staying silent aren’t working anymore.

Boost Wellness

My ideal client is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or at a crossroads — often after years of being the one others rely on. They may be navigating a life change, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. They want clarity, emotional support, and practical tools to manage anxiety, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters. Above all, they’re seeking a safe, compassionate space to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Serves Area
I place an emphasis on a respectful relationship where thoughts and feelings are treated with sensitivity and honesty. I provide a supportive and relaxed environment, and believe that no thought or feeling deserves judgment in therapy. I enjoy helping people with anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, trauma, problems with assertiveness, anger, behavioural problems, and relationship issues. I hope to offer people an opportunity to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering, to build skills to regulate anxiety, to gain stability in relationships, and to heal and unlock potential.
