Decoding the Unconscious Logic of Trauma
Many of us get stuck in repetitive patterns that feel illogical. My specialty is in helping you understand the hidden, self-protective 'logic' of these patterns—the stories your unconscious mind tells to shield you from pain—so we can gently rewrite them together.
My practice specialises in an advanced psychodynamic method that analyses the unconscious logical structures (or 'phantasies') underlying anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. This approach is particularly effective for complex trauma and for individuals who have found other therapies lacking in sufficient depth.
I run a specialist psychodynamic practice in Melbourne focused on an advanced method of therapy. While many approaches deal with the content of your thoughts, my expertise lies in analysing the hidden, protective logical structure of your unconscious stories. We work to gently decode this 'logic of phantasy' that often keeps people stuck in repetitive patterns of trauma and relationship difficulties. It's a deeply insightful approach, particularly valued by those seeking a sophisticated understanding of their inner world.
