Dr Anu Paradkar
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
East Melbourne, VIC 3002
My personal belief is that despite our histories and circumstances we strive for fulfilment, purpose and growth. I seek to help people resolve their inner conflicts, break through internal disconnects, process grief and trauma and build better relationships with parts of self and with others. The goal of most therapy is to allow for healing, strengthening the "kind and wise Inner Leader" that lives within us and to live with greater freedom and self direction.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes our thoughts become the hardest part to manage. I help people untangle these patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and find long-term calm. With master’s degrees in Communications and Media and in Professional Psychology, I bring a balanced mix of human insight and clinical skill. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and inclusive of all identities and backgrounds, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic frameworks. I recently explored this in my blog When I Asked ChatGPT to Be My Therapist on The Three Seas website.

Let’s be honest. Walking into therapy can feel intimidating. The old-school image of psychology is still very “serious face, intimidating suit, big words you didn’t ask for.” That’s not what happens here. I’m a psychologist who genuinely believes therapy shouldn’t feel like you’re being analysed under fluorescent lighting. It should feel collaborative, clear & human. You deserve support that makes sense in real life. No "hacks". My approach is simple. I get to know you properly. We figure out what’s getting in your way. And we build tools that actually work in your day-to-day life. No unnecessary jargon.

You might be someone who holds a lot inside. On the outside, life continues with work, relationships, responsibilities, while you may feel internally overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or tired in a way that rest doesn’t seem to fix. I am experienced working with people who have past experiences that still live in the body, patterns that repeat in relationships, or a sense of not fully belonging. I’m especially passionate about supporting people from a migrant background. I deeply understand the challenges from cultural expectations, unspoken family dynamics, or emotional experiences that do not fit into the mainstream culture.
