I have helped
couples
with premarriage, high conflict, parenting, infidelity and other issues.
If your relationship has hit some bad patches, you have ongoing conflict or have grown apart, I can heIp you. If you need support with relating to your
partner
, improving your communication skills or managing conflict, then seriously consider calling me. Not every practitioner has the skills and confidence to include your
partner
in the therapy, I do. I have specialised in Relationship Counselling for more than 15 years and have trained and worked at Relationships Australia. My clients benefit from my broad experience and training as I am also a Clinical Family Therapist and can work with the rest of your family if need be.

I’ve had the experience of juggling a stressful but successful career with parenting and looking after a terminally-ill
partner
so grief, loss and the carer experience are all integral to who I am.
Seeing a counsellor is a great way to take care of yourself. You might be struggling with a particular mental health issue, or perhaps you want some support in daily life. Life throws us curveballs all the time - finding new ways to work on it is a focus of my work. No-one thinks twice about a personal trainer to improve our physical fitness. Sometimes we need a mental health coach to help us learn if there is something holding us back from living our best life. If you’re not sure what’s keeping you from making a change, counselling can help you discover the answer.

Bita Riazati - Anxiety, Relationship and Intimacy
Psychologist, MPsych, MAPS
Verified
Verified
I am a psychoanalyst, and registered psychologist. You can tell me about whatever that is on your mind. You may be struggling with interpersonal relationships, becoming intimate and feeling close to a
partner
may be distressing or at times uncomfortable. You may wonder about the same repeating issues in all aspects of your life. You may ask yourself, “why do I always do this?”, “what is happening to me?” Or “how do I know what I want”. Sometimes becoming motivated may be difficult, other times you may find it hard to get moving with the things that you want to do.

It is my hope that when someone spends time in the therapy room with me that our relationship feels honest, authentic and safe. During a therapy session you’ll encounter a mix and variety of therapeutic approaches including
couples
and family therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused therapy, to name a few. I have a special interest in relationships, life transitions, grief and parenting. I genuinely love my work and I’ve always, for as long as I can remember, been interested in people’s stories and how they think, feel, behave and relate.

Counsellor, ACA-L1

I love working with clients who are
couples
and individuals, those grappling with addictions, adolescents and also those experiencing incarceration.
I create a safe and open space for my clients to therapeutically explore their issues, challenges and concerns. My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring the connections between their trauma and life experiences and how this has impacted their lives in positive and negative ways. I like to work with clients that are action and goal oriented, as I like to set homework tasks and brain training exercises to re-wire their thinking in a healthier and more functional way. I am very conversational and my clients like this approach to discussing areas of concern to them.

Transitions whether positive or negative, planned or unexpected can generate stress and anxiety, but there is always a path forward so that you can emerge healthier, happier and more able to cope. With the right guidance and support you can learn to navigate destructive emotions like anger, shame, guilt, sadness and loneliness and learn how to re-evaluate your values and set achievable goals.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Malvern?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Malvern specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
