Leichhardt NSW

Hi, I am Valentina. I have always been interested in human nature and its psychology. Becoming a counsellor was, for me, a natural consequence of my life experience and of my professional journey. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I studied Philosophy and I worked for many years internationally in the field of Human Resources Management.

I'm a psychologist located in the heart of Leichhardt with a passion for psychology and working with people. In private practice I work with a wide range of people with anxiety, depression, grief, relational and other issues. My goal in therapy is to reconnect people with their strengths and sense of confidence.

I like working with people with complex trauma and dissociation. I appreciate that some of your difficulties are trauma responses that helped you survive in the past, we just need to update to help you feel better now. Informed by Internal Family Systems, EMDR Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

I believe therapy isn't another task to get right or finish on time. It's a space to meet yourself where you are, stay a little longer and notice what emerges. As a Clinical Counsellor, Art Therapist and fellow human being, I work at your heart's pace. What might be possible if even the parts that feel unworthy or overwhelmed found care and space?

I am a very experienced psychologist who offers a warm therapy relationship. Embarking on a therapy journey with me will lead to greater insights into your difficulties and you will learn strategies to help you overcome your challenges. During the process, you will experience personal growth enabling you to live a more optimal and fulfilling life.

I have extensive experience with addictions, and specialise in working with the family members of people who use drugs, alcohol, gambling, or have complex mental health needs. I provide a safe, non-judgemental place for you to ask questions, explore the reasons why addiction has become a part of your life, and make choices for positive change.

I am passionate about helping you to resolve the impact of trauma on the mind-body. Early life experiences greatly influence how we experience life today. Therapy gradually helps unshackle us from the past, so we are free to respond rather than re-act to life events and loved ones.
