Hi, I’m Ilana. I am a registered psychologist, and have worked in the healthcare field both in Australia and overseas, in military, clinical and private settings, which allows me to use a holistic approach to health and well-being. I am an advocate for human potential, resilience and inner strength.
I integrate various therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential and Strengths-based approaches, Person-Centred and Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy, all from the viewpoint that the individual is a complex, multifaceted, resilient and creative agent of their life. I also believe in integrating well-researched areas of human well-being such as mindfulness and spirituality while focusing on healing and recovery.
In my therapy I aim to assist people to become conscious of their strengths and difficulties, design and reach their goals, heal traumas, live a life of meaning and purpose, and reach their full potential through empowerment.
