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. In my therapy I aim to assist people to become conscious of their strengths and difficulties, design and reach their goals, live a life of meaning and purpose, and reach their full potential through empowerment.

I am passionate about understanding the neuroscience and the impact of trauma, stress, and relationship on mental health, and learning more about the connectedness of physical, emotional, and social well-being. I delight in working with the uniqueness that is each person, and I am in awe of our ‘inner knowing’, an inner strength that enables us to survive challenging experiences, speaks our truth and seeks to make sense of our journey, to connect with others, or maybe disconnect when this is more helpful to our survival. My goal as a Counsellor is to work with you to identify your patterns, of stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or relational struggles that hinder you in managing life, achieving goals and/or create self-sabotage within relationships. I value empathetic, authentic relationship, I will hear your truth, work together with you to develop an authentic relationship with yourself and with others and facilitate your own journey of change.
