Attachment and Somatic Psychotherapy in Melbourne

I work with adults who feel stuck.
In relationships, in anxiety or low mood, or in reactions that don’t seem to change.

You may have tried to think your way out of your stress. Perhaps you can see the pattern, but it still hasn’t changed.

You may be experiencing one or more of the following:

• Depression or Flatness
  Low mood, loss of motivation, heaviness, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

• Anxiety and Overactivation
  Racing thoughts, constant tension, difficulty sleeping, or always feeling slightly on edge.

• Relationship Struggles
  Jealousy, fear of abandonment, conflict that escalates quickly or turns into withdrawal.

• Shutdown or Numbness
  Going foggy under stress, feeling emotionally blank, or struggling to access what you feel.

• Harsh Self-Criticism
  A constant internal pressure to do better, be better, or not need too much from others.

• Stress, Trauma, or Burnout
  Carrying the impact of earlier experiences, ongoing work pressure, or feeling like your system never fully settles.

These reactions don’t shift just through insight. They shift when they are experienced differently, often within a therapeutic relationship.

In our sessions, we create a space where these reactions can slow down enough to be explored. By paying attention not only to your thoughts and emotions but also to your physical sensations, we help your nervous system begin to settle.

Over time, this process creates more choice in how you respond. It makes room for greater warmth, connection, and ease, both within yourself and in your relationships.
