In Person Psychologists and Therapists in Prahran, VIC
I offer therapy face-to-face or online, because therapy should fit into real life.
Anxiety, depression, relationship and communication difficulties, people pleasing, shame, perfectionism, and low self-worth are just some of the struggles that can leave you feeling caught in painful patterns that are difficult to change. Often, these patterns make more sense when we understand them in the context of your early relationships and life experiences. My work helps you explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so they no longer define how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Together, we work towards greater self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Being human can be hard. You may feel alone in your struggles. It's important to have a place where you can let your guard down, acknowledge what you're facing, and begin healing. I love providing clients with this type of support. I help clients get to know themselves more deeply. I enjoy working with clients to identify and overcome barriers, prepare and cope with life transitions, heal from trauma, tend and befriend feelings, cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, build healthy relationships, and foster meaning and purpose in their life.

If you asked what sums me up as a psychologist, I would say that it's that I really care about my clients as people, and believe that the therapy relationship, though professional, is also real, and I'm genuinely invested in it and in you and getting you where you want to be. I strive to be consistent and warm and supportive, to always see the best in you (even if there are times when you can't see it in yourself) and to provide a base for you to work through whatever you need, and explore and grow and build the life you want and person you want to be.

Both Face-to-face or Telehealth consultations are available.
You might be finding that some parts of life feel demanding or draining, especially in spaces that don’t always align with how you think, feel, and respond. You may notice feelings of worry, emotional heaviness, or self-doubt that have developed over time, often in response to being misunderstood or feeling the need to adapt yourself to fit in. You might feel worn down by high expectations, hesitant to try new things, or preoccupied with how you’re coming across to others. At times, you may feel stuck or held back by long-standing self-criticism or negative beliefs.

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.
