Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Psychologists and Therapists in Melbourne, VIC
Many of us were raised with the notion that experiencing psychological, emotional or relationship difficulties meant that we were somehow broken; or that seeking help is a sign of weakness. I don’t subscribe to this belief. Reaching out is brave, and I am yet to talk to a person that hasn’t had their share of personal challenges. You are not broken, you are human; and therapy is not about fixing, it’s about healing.

Using CBT and ACT, I focus on practical, structured work that leads to real change in daily life, often within a few focused sessions.
I work with high-functioning professionals who feel out of control despite appearing capable on the outside. This may show up as anxiety, panic attacks, overthinking, or patterns that are hard to change — such as impulsive decisions, habits you regret, or repeating the same relationship cycles. Many clients come feeling stuck or frustrated that they can’t “fix it” on their own, and often notice improvement within 4-6 focused sessions. I also support ADHD-related challenges, addictive or compulsive behaviours, and relationship difficulties including trust and communication issues in couples.

Together, we use CBT, ACT, and emotion-focused strategies to understand patterns, manage stress, and build confidence for healthier relationships and emotional balance.
I help adults who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns and find themselves asking, “Why does this keep happening?” They may struggle with closeness, boundaries, conflict, or feeling unseen in their relationships. Often, these challenges are rooted in attachment wounds that continue to shape how they connect today. Together, we uncover what’s underneath, so they can respond with clarity, build healthier relationships, and feel more secure in how they relate to others.

Therapy helps make sense of these patterns, builds connection, and fosters confidence in responding with empathy and consistency—at home and in school settings.

This includes different types of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, Emotion Focused Therapies and Psychodynamic Therapies.
If you’re a professional struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or self-doubt, you may feel like you should have it all together. Outwardly, you appear capable and successful, but internally, stress and overthinking make it difficult to enjoy your work, relationships, or even your downtime. You might find yourself avoiding difficult conversations, procrastinating on important tasks, or overworking to keep anxiety at bay. Despite your efforts, you may feel stuck, wondering why stress and self-doubt persist.
