After many years of practicing as a Psychologist in Melbourne, I have decided to share a space for people who are interested in reading about deeper psychological perspectives regarding relationships, mental health concerns, and everyday issues mixed in with a spice of culture and language diversity.
I aim to write about a variety of topics in the hope that as a reader you may be able to relate, be curious and reflect on some of these ideas regarding your own life and people around you. Perhaps open up your desire to try therapy.
These blogs will be written from not only a theoretical point of view but also from my experience across the years that many wonderful clients have so graciously given me without knowing (thank you all!).
Through my blog, you may get a sense of my style of work as a therapist. For those of you who would like to understand yourselves intellectually, or your struggles with pain, happiness, self-esteem, and relationships, insightful thinking is the first step towards change.
My work is predominantly psychodynamic whilst encompassing other frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Tools, Mindfulness, and Acceptance - Commitment Therapy when needed. Most of my pieces will be more thoughtful in content, (reflecting my psychoanalytic training). However, for those of you that may often just want a quick read, I will also provide some tips.
Thanks for reading and showing curiosity....
Back soon.
