Hi, I’m Marit. I am a black woman from Melbourne. My mother is Indian-Singaporean and my father was Ethiopian. I have a unique insight growing up in a Western culture with both South-Asian and East-African influences. As a black woman, I am curious about navigating identity, culture, race and self-esteem while being impacted by marginalisation and experiences of racism in a predominantly white society.

I'm a clinical psychologist working in both public and private health settings. I work best with clients who are curious enough to seek therapy because they recognise certain patterns that are not working well in their lives and wish to have support to improve this.

I am passionate about helping people improve the quality of their lives by better managing their mental health. Maybe you have always struggled with things like worry, stress, low mood, or difficulty adjusting to change/loss. Or maybe this is your first experience of not being able to "fix it" yourself. Either way, there will always be a time when we need to look beyond ourselves for practical support to resolve a psychological issue. When we learn how to constructively deal with our mental health challenges, we feel more at ease, more energized, and better able to pursue those things in life that nourish us and enable us to thrive.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist who works from a wholistic, trauma-informed, social justice framework. I believe that each client is unique and individual and I use a client-centred approach. It is important that you feel empowered and in control of the sessions which means that we will work together to find out what works for you and your needs. Areas I am particularly interested in are self-esteem and self-growth, trauma healing, managing anxiety and gender and sexuality exploration.

I am an integrative therapist who loves working with people who are willing to be curious about themselves and others. I specialise in a process of somatic self-insight called Focusing, in which attention is placed not only on thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, but also on the body’s immediate, moment-to-moment reactions and felt sense of an issue. This process is well suited to people who are feeling stuck, suffer from anxiety and/or depression, or are having a transitional time in life and need to find an authentic way forward. Our sessions together are 75 minutes in length, and are designed to help you achieve meaningful change.
