Bita Riazati is a registered psychologist, board-approved supervisor, and Lacanian psychoanalyst in Melbourne. Her work is oriented by the teachings of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. Psychoanalysis is a clinical approach that seeks to understand and treat psychological suffering through the person's speech, life history, and unconscious processes, rather than by applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Chanelle Adam
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at the heart of therapy is connection - and that’s what I try my best to prioritise in our sessions. I believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or detached; it should feel like a conversation with someone who truly sees you. I work specifically with young adults aged 18 - 35, and I have a special interest in working with trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety disorders, young adults who are experiencing family and relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are experiencing identity struggles or those just feeling "stuck".

Whether you come individually or as a couple, I help you explore your inner world, understand patterns, and move toward more authentic, compassionate relationships—with others and yourself.

Talking Sleep Psychology
Psychologist, MPsych, MAPS
Online Only
I work with adults and older adults struggling with insomnia, sleep anxiety, or poor sleep quality — often people who have tried other approaches without lasting results, or who sense something deeper is keeping their nervous system alert at night. Many of my clients are midlife women navigating sleep disruption alongside hormonal transition and the pressures of this life stage. The goal is always the same: to leave with a genuinely different relationship with sleep — not rules to follow, but a real understanding of what your nervous system needs, even on hard nights

Managing stress and changing behaviour is a complex matter. It can be even tougher when you try to do it alone. My clients are looking for the tools to manage their situation effectively and bring about positive behaviour change and improved performance. The people I work with want the power that comes from combining the best elements of coaching, positive psychology with the best therapeutic practices, including both traditional and state of the art methods. They want both coaching support and clinical expertise to help them cope, build their resilience and ultimately thrive across a range of complex situations and experiences.
