As a counsellor my role is to create a safe space for you to explore the issues that you are dealing with in your life, to find understanding, peace and resolution.

I intentionally keep my fees affordable, so that cost isn't a barrier for people to access help.

For NDIS-funded cycles, this usually translates as $190 per session (75 mins: inclusive of 60 min session plus 15 mins of billable non- face-to-face time).
Factors such as sensory amplification, processing differences, cumulative stress, and past or ongoing adversity can influence how our bodies respond to challenges as they arise. I take these factors into account (whether or not they are part of a formal diagnosis) in order to help people navigate complexity and intensity. My expertise is in the realm of building neurophysiological capacity so that the sensations of life are less overwhelming and draining, and freeing up resources for life-doing.

My therapeutic approach is highly collaborative. I work in a client-centred way, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside depth-oriented perspectives including Jungian psychology and parts-work. I see therapy as a space where we can develop practical tools for change while also exploring depth. I believe that many of the struggles we face can be understood as meaningful signals that invite greater self-awareness, change, and integration

Both face to face & telehealth counselling available.
I am passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety and relationship challenges. This includes high functioning anxiety (stress, burnout, & perfectionism), generalised anxiety (overthinking & catastrophising), OCD intrusive thoughts, panic, social anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, difficulty navigating relationships, being self-critical or doubting oneself, people-pleasing, & excessive guilt. The way we relate to ourselves, and others, is fundamental to our mental health. Anxiety can place significant strain on relationships, just as difficulties in our relationships can, in turn, heighten feelings of anxiety.

Hi, I'm Luvena Susanto. I am a Clinical Psychologist with experience in private practice and public health.
I love working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, attachment trauma, and interpersonal conflict.
Often, the challenges we face are shaped not only by present circumstances, but also by past experiences, unconscious processes, and the ways we have come to relate to ourselves and others. I believe that psychotherapy can give you the space to understand yourself better, to experiment with new ways of relating, and to choose to do things differently.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
