Ms Athena Phythian Psychologist

Athena Phythian Berwick, Victoria, 3806

Overview

I offer you a safe and welcoming environment in which to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety/panic, loneliness, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues, PTSD/trauma, OCD, anger, self-harm and suicidal behaviours. I also work with clients with Autism and ADHD. I offer a warm approach, to help you obtain improved psychological and emotional well-being in your relationship, at work, at school/university or within your family. I use various evidenced-based psychological therapies, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I am also trained in trauma-specific and psychoanalytic therapies. I love to work with adults of all ages, teenagers, couples, families and parents. I provide a space where you can feel heard, understood and validated, and where you can achieve positive treatment outcomes in your life. I am currently accepting new referrals and I have no wait-time.
