Experience Genuine Care and Profound Healing with Elizabeth O'Callaghan - A Psychologist Who GOES BEYOND TEMPORARY Symptom RELIEF, Offering a Space of Healing in Melbourne.
As an registered psychologist, I specialize in working with adults dealing with emotional challenges that are affecting their quality of life.
If you're caught in a cycle of inner conflict, you’re not alone. Life is tough and sometimes everyday tasks can seem next to impossible.
I am here to work through your problems with empathy and insight. I want to help you achieve transformational healing and recovery by tackling the root of the problem. I strive to support you in finding a way out of the fogginess and guide you toward a clear and more fulfilling future.
My approach is designed for those ready to break free from patterns that hold them back and are seeking deeper, lasting change.
In our work together, we will get to the root of your struggles, uncovering and addressing the underlying cause of your distress. My goal is to help you move beyond temporary relief and toward profound long lasting change.
Clients who work with me find that they not only overcome their symptoms but also gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This leads to more fulfilling relationships, increased resilience and a greater sense of peace.
about my professional journey
Over the course of my work, I have had the chance of working with various types of people, starting with children and adolescents including children with autism.
Most extensively, I have worked with adults through public health providers within the community and also through private practice. Born in Brazil but living here in Australia, means that I have a multicultural approach to my practice.
I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental, safe and inclusive space where people from all walks of life feel respected and understood.
Specialized Therapy Techniques
I am well-versed in psychodynamics and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). This combination of techniques aids in combating not just the symptom but the source of the distress.
Languages
In addition to English, I speak fluent Portuguese (Brazilian) and can conduct sessions in Portuguese if preferred.
