Psychoanalytic Psychologists and Therapists in Middle Park, VIC
We all want to deal with the difficulties that limit our lives, to find strength and peace, and to create a meaningful life. We may have a specific problem, or simply a desire to work on ourselves. The deeper roots of long-standing problems lie in the unconscious, in unconscious patterns of behaviour. Therapy can pull up these deep roots into awareness, so that they can be understood, re-evaluated, and dissolved. New energy and liberating fresh perspectives replace old patterns in relationships, career, family and inner life.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist offering individual therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychoanalytic theories which focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the self and one’s subjective experience. Rather than targeting symptoms in isolation, psychoanalytic psychotherapy seeks to uncover the underlying unconscious processes that shape patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour.

Living is a process. When things are difficult, when we suffer in ways that time alone doesn't fix, it's often because something is stuck in the process of our experiencing. Maybe you have a sense that something is weighing on you, that patterns are repeating, that you don't feel fully present in your own life. I believe we make sense of our experiences through language, and that patterns repeat and process stalls when we haven't found the right words to articulate a feeling that is desperate for expression. If we can't express ourselves truly and precisely, we are destined to keep journeying down the same unsatisfying path.

I work with adults who are used to holding everything together, but find the strategies that got them this far are no longer working. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depleted; be navigating grief, relationship difficulties or significant change; or notice the same patterns repeating despite your efforts to shift them. Some people arrive in crisis. Others cannot name one defining problem, only a persistent sense that the life they are living no longer quite fits. You do not need a perfectly formed reason for seeking counselling. Curiosity, discomfort or a readiness for something to change is enough.

My mission is to be a beacon of hope and a source of strength for those who are struggling and to foster a world where no one has to face the journey alone.

I work in a psychoanalytic way, which means working without pre-conceived ideas of how you are or should be.
Whatever you are currently finding challenging - anxiety, depression, trauma, despair, disappointments, relationship difficulties, parenting or grief, it is hard to respond creatively when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. My aim is to listen with care to what you have to say about your own particular challenges and to help you understand what is holding you back - this can open up new possibilities. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I work face to face with children, adolescents and adults in my practice in Geelong and also offer telehealth counselling to adults via the internet and telephone.

My work is informed by psychoanalytic psychotherapy and contemporary clinical psychology, and shaped by careful clinical assessment and formulation.
You may feel anxious, flat, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite trying to “do the right things.” Perhaps you function well outwardly but feel unsettled inside — in relationships, around identity, neurodivergence, food, body, or your sense of self — and want space to explore this more deeply. I can conduct ASD and ADHD assessments.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
