Counselling in Melbourne, VIC

Mental health can look different for every individual. My role as a psychologist largely involves assisting clients to develop emotional resilience, as well as promoting healthy behaviour change. This results in clients living a more fulfilling life, regardless of what their current and or future circumstances present. Being able to accurately assess and treat clients in a supportive environment is central to my practice. Due to the nature of my psychology training, as well as my personal experience growing up as a 1.5 generation Korean/Asian in New Zealand and Australia, cultural responsivity is also a particular interest of mine.

Hi, I’m Patricia Martins, a Portuguese and Spanish speaking psychologist who helps immigrants find their place in Australia. I know how hard it can be to leave your home country and start a new life in a different culture. I’ve been there myself. That’s why I decided to dedicate my career to helping people like you, who are going through a similar journey. Whether you are struggling with emotional distress, anxiety, loneliness, or any other issue, I’m here to support you and help you thrive in your new environment.

This is not the life you wanted. You are not the person you hoped to become. Your choices and decisions prevent any relief from the constant, nagging anxiety that disrupts your sleep and impacts your health. It may be that the damage of a difficult upbringing is still causing sustained harm to your present relationships, and your all-important sense of self. But whatever the root cause of your suffering, it's always so much harder to overcome alone. I'm here to support you in that struggle as we work to understand and address your unhappiness in a safe, constructive, trauma-informed space.

Welcome, just a little about me, I practice Clinical Psychology using evidence-based therapeutic approaches and much of my work is from a psychodynamic perspective, with a welcoming and respectful approach. I have nearly 20 years of experience in private practice supporting people from different backgrounds and ages including children, adolescents, adults, couples and families, although I now see only individual adults or teenagers in session.

I have extensive experience providing holistic, client-centred care for clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD and complex trauma, personality disorders, sex therapy, relationship therapy, cultural difficulties, work-based difficulties, stress and more.

Hi there, my name is Georgina and i'm a registered psychologist. I offer accessible and affirming assessments and mental health support to young people and adults across Australia.

I also have experience working with individuals in the perinatal period in areas such as adjustment, perinatal depression and anxiety, and OCD (including intrusive thoughts).

My approach to therapy is to create a reflective and non-judgemental space, in which I collaborate with my clients to make meaningful connections in terms of their life patterns and build insight into how these developed from early experiences. I like to use a warm and curious therapeutic style to gain an intimate understanding of them as a person and their life story. Throughout this process, I incorporate evidence-based practice to support clients in pursuit of their therapeutic goals in addition to deeper self-understanding.

I am passionate about amplifying voices and creating spaces for individuals to freely express themselves. This includes voices of people of colour, First Nations individuals, migrants, and other marginalised minority groups that experience greater systemic barriers. For some communities, there are expectations of how one should think and behave within their cultural context. However, this can often be misaligned with their true sense of self. Being stuck in between two cultural worlds can be challenging.
