Supporting self development, healing and growth.
EMPOWERING WOMEN TO LIVE A BALANCED LIFE
Your Melbourne-based psychologist Emma Prinzi
If you’re a woman or femme feeling lost, stuck and helpless because of the same recurring patterns that you’ve struggled to shift, time and time again, and you’re needing support from someone who can gently challenge you, then I’m here for you. I provide psychological services in the Northern suburbs of Thornbury and surrounds to women who are looking for a safe space to be heard and create change in their lives.
How we can work together
I have a special interest in working with women who have experienced trauma, often of an interpersonal and invasive nature, particularly during childhood or adolescence, and which has had long-term, widespread effects.
Often these effects include the following areas which I also address:
Depression and Anxiety
Body Image Concerns and Binge Eating
Relationship and Family Issues
Stress and Burnout
Life Changes
Identity Issues and Low Self Esteem
Internet Addiction
Pre and Postnatal Mental Health
Study, work or career related issues
Communication and Assertiveness
Forms of Therapy I Incorporate:
I predominantly use a psychoanalytically oriented approach when working with clients however this is heavily dependent on the personal preferences of the individual I am working with. I tend to incorporate elements of the following modalities:
Schema Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Internal Family Systems
Attachment Based Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Polyvagal-based Theory and Practice
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
PROCESS
One of the most important aspects of therapy is feeling comfortable with who you’re opening up to, it’s the sense that you just ‘click’ with your therapist.
This is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation.
If you’d like to proceed, sessions can be held via Telehealth or Face to Face sessions in a beautiful, relaxing room with plenty of natural light.
