My name is Michael and I am a Registered Psychologist working in private practice in East Melbourne, and Malvern.
My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space for us to gain a thorough appreciation of you.
This includes your challenges, your fears and your suffering, as well as your strength, resilience, individuality, and hope for new growth in your life.
How I work
Above specific approaches I prioritise a healthy, respectful working relationship grounded in care, compassion, truth, and knowledge.
I work from a psychodynamic frame and incorporate elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, and somatic and mindfulness practices. These are well-established ways people can better understand themselves and overcome their struggles.
I seek and value regular feedback from you to ensure our work feels safe and productive.
Therapeutic approaches I use include:
- Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
- Mindfulness
Rates and rebates
My rate is $220 for a 50 minute appointment of individual therapy.
My service is eligible for Medicare rebates (with a mental health care plan and referral from your GP) and Private Health Insurance rebates (depending on your provider and cover).
