Insight-oriented care for lasting change

Therapy Atelier is for Melbourne and Online

Instead of only managing symptoms, we slow down to meet the patterns that quietly steer your life—how you protect yourself, what you long for, and how earlier bonds still echo today. The work is depth psychoanalytic, grounded in attachment and neuroscience, and always translated into simple steps you can live.

What depth therapy is

Think of life as a tapestry: certain threads repeat—an argument you keep having with different people, a familiar knot in the chest, a habit of saying yes when you mean no. Depth therapy helps you notice these threads, understand why they formed, and reweave them with care.

It is talk-based, reflective, and relational. We pay close attention to what happens in your day-to-day life and to what unfolds between us in the room. Rather than forcing yourself to behave differently, we help your nervous system and your understanding update together—so new choices feel natural, not fragile.

How it works

Got any questions?

A slower beginning

We start by clarifying what hurts, what still hopes, and what your next reach is. We map themes, triggers, and relationship patterns and agree on a pace that feels kind and sustainable.

Here-and-now attention

What shows up between us—hesitation, caretaking, irritation, relief—becomes a living mirror. It is not judged; it is information. When patterns can be named safely, they begin to loosen.

Making meaning

We explore the stories you tell about yourself, the images that return, the moments you avoid, the emotions that arrive late or too loudly. Together we ask: what is this protecting, and what would it take to update the protection?

Gentle experiments

Insight is paired with small, concrete steps between sessions: a different boundary in one conversation, a slower reply, a new ritual for rest, a brief journal prompt. These experiments are designed to be doable now.

Integration and review

Every 4–6 sessions, we step back and look at what has shifted—sleep, mood, ease in connection, choice where there was none—and refine the plan. The arc stays humane, precise, and oriented to your actual life.

The Rhythm of Healing

A balance between
gentle exposure and grounded reflection.

When trauma is active

If the nervous system is spiking, we may weave in light, exposure-based steps drawn from Prolonged Exposure principles to calm physiology and reduce avoidance. Then we return to the deeper work so gains take root.

What a session feels like

Calm, unhurried, and useful. You can expect thoughtful questions, long silences when needed, and practical takeaways. Some weeks bring new insight; others bring the quiet repetition that makes change real. There is room for both.

Who it helps

  • People in repeating relationship cycles (pursue/withdraw, fear of closeness, chronic people-pleasing)
  • High-functioning adults who feel over-managed by anxiety or driven by old rules that no longer fit
  • Those in life transitions—relocation, parenthood, separation/divorce, career pivots
  • Complex trauma histories where tools helped but the undertow remains
  • Creative professionals noticing blocks, self-criticism, or loss of voice
  • Anyone thinking, I’ve done the techniques—now I want change that lasts

Our services

IVF treatment

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. IVF is commonly used for individuals facing infertility or genetic issues.

Embryo screening

Procedure performed during IVF to assess embryos for genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. This helps identify healthy embryos for transfer, reducing the risk of genetic disorders and improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Eggs preservation

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation), is a process where a woman's eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored for future use. This technique is commonly chosen to preserve fertility before medical treatments, like chemotherapy, or to delay pregnancy for personal or medical reasons.

Because true change takes root, not just shape.

Why many find it superior for lasting change

Depth therapy reaches beneath surface patterns to the roots that sustain them. Rather than adding more coping tools, it helps you move from coping to choosing—understanding why the pattern exists so it can shift naturally.

As the protective layers are recognized and revised, the effort that once felt white-knuckled becomes grounded and steady. Each moment of insight is paired with a small, deliberate step, turning clarity into movement. Over time, this approach transforms temporary relief into durable ease—paced gently for your life, reviewed regularly, and anchored in change that lasts.

The quiet evidence of healing

Changes you may notice over time

  • Calmer baseline; fewer spikes and spirals
  • Less avoidance; more room to choose
  • Clearer boundaries and warmer connection
  • Reduced shame and self-attack; steadier self-respect
  • A clearer sense of direction, with work and love aligned

In Their Own Words

Thoughtful voices on the process of lasting change

5/5

"I used to think awareness was enough, but I kept ending up in the same patterns. This work helped me understand—not just think about—why I reacted the way I did. Now, my choices feel freer, quieter, and more my own."

5/5

"For the first time, I’m not trying to fix myself. I’m learning to listen. The pace is slow, deliberate, and strangely powerful. Change doesn’t feel forced anymore—it feels like it’s growing from inside me."

5/5

"I came in exhausted from managing my anxiety with techniques and checklists. What I found here was a gentler kind of healing—one that made me feel calm without having to work so hard at it."

5/5

"The sessions are calm and spacious. Sometimes we talk; sometimes there’s silence that says more than words. Over time, those small, steady conversations have changed how I relate to myself and to others."

5/5

"This process helped me see the difference between surviving and living. I notice my boundaries, my voice, my calm returning. It’s not a quick fix, but it’s real—and it stays."

Is this just talking about the past?

We may touch the past, but only to free the present. The focus is how old patterns move through today—and how to revise them.

Will it feel too intense?

The pace is gentle and collaborative. We stabilize first, move in small steps, and keep arousal within a tolerable range.

How long does it take?

Many people feel relief and clarity within 4–6 sessions as stabilization and insight build. Deeper shifts take longer. We review aims regularly so you always know where we are and why.

Is online work effective?

Yes. Reflection, planning, and weekly experiments translate well to encrypted video. Many clients do part or all of their depth work online.
