Australian Unity Psychologists and Therapists in Richmond, VIC
Let’s be honest. Walking into therapy can feel intimidating. The old-school image of psychology is still very “serious face, intimidating suit, big words you didn’t ask for.”
That’s not what happens here.
I’m a psychologist who genuinely believes therapy shouldn’t feel like you’re being analysed under fluorescent lighting. It should feel collaborative, clear & human. You deserve support that makes sense in real life. No "hacks".
My approach is simple. I get to know you properly. We figure out what’s getting in your way. And we build tools that actually work in your day-to-day life. No unnecessary jargon.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes our thoughts become the hardest part to manage. I help people untangle these patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and find long-term calm. With master’s degrees in Communications and Media and in Professional Psychology, I bring a balanced mix of human insight and clinical skill. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and inclusive of all identities and backgrounds, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic frameworks. I recently explored this in my blog When I Asked ChatGPT to Be My Therapist on The Three Seas website.

Hey, I'm Dr Justin, and my practice has a focus on LGBTQIA+ wellbeing. I'm very interested in relational dynamic patterns, and how these underpin common issues that we experience during our lives.
I provide a compassionate, individualised space where clients can explore how past experiences shape their present-day concerns, and I pay close attention to the subtle and varied ways this can occur. I draw upon psychodynamic and schema therapy approaches to help identify and repair problematic emotional and behavioural patterns.
My aim is to help you build a detailed and nuanced understanding of your relational self.

I am a registered provider with Medibank Private and Australian Unity.
My clients often feel held back by intense physical or emotional responses that limits their enjoyment and potential in life. Many come to me because anxiety or fears—specifically dental, medical, or flight anxiety—prevent them from accessing healthcare or living fully. Others are exhausted by insomnia or low self-confidence. If your "fight or flight" response is constantly overreacting, or if talk therapy felt supportive but didn't help you to change your emotional patterns and responses, we may be a good fit. I help you bridge the gap between the mind and the nervous system, updating subconscious patterns with curiosity and calm.

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".

My personal belief is that despite our histories and circumstances we strive for fulfilment, purpose and growth.
I seek to help people resolve their inner conflicts, break through internal disconnects, process grief and trauma and build better relationships with parts of self and with others.
The goal of most therapy is to allow for healing, strengthening the "kind and wise Inner Leader" that lives within us and to live with greater freedom and self direction.

I’m a Melbourne based experienced psychologist. Many of the people I see are professionals and entrepreneurs constantly making decisions, managing responsibilities, and striving to meet high expectations. On the outside everything appears under control, but inside it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, or lonely. Capable, successful people can feel weighed down by hidden anxiety, stress, perfectionism, or ADHD.
We work together to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface. We explore patterns that keep you stuck whether it’s overthinking, restlessness, or the pressure to achieve and strategies to focus on what matters most.

Pain has a strange way of shrinking the world. Anxiety reduces it to the next catastrophe. Depression drains it of colour. Trauma brings the past into the present. And relationships can turn love, fear and abandonment into the same story. What hurts has a history. But the next scene has not yet been written.

I enjoy working with a range of people and presentations including: anxiety or mood challenges, life adjustments, work and academic stress, self-esteem, boundaries and assertiveness development, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, and support for people in carer roles. Women's health is a particular interest, including antenatal and postnatal through to menopause support, and neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism) in women.
