About me
Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice in South Melbourne and Hawthorn that works with adults, adolescents and couples to support mental health, wellbeing and enrich lives. We are committed to providing meaningful therapy within a nurturing therapeutic space that empowers recovery, growth and sustained change.
We work with varied, as well as complex problems that affect mental health, relationships and overall wellbeing:
Depression + Mood
Anxiety
Stress/Trauma
Attachment
Personality
Addictions
Eating Behaviour
Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity
We know from both the research evidence and also our experience that relationships are fundamental to psychological development. With this in mind, our approach importantly involves skilful attention to the therapeutic relationship. Through comprehensive formulation, empathic self-understanding and careful analysis, we aim to go beyond the surface and address problems at their origin with a focus on changing the internal working model. Within a collaborative psychological process that includes cognitive re-scripting techniques, we work with you to make mental repairs to your internal world and thereby establish more desirable patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
It is within this unique space that we then listen closely and observe what is experienced within you (your internal world), around you (your external world) and between you and others (your relational world). It is through the transformative potential of an ongoing therapeutic conversation that we make discoveries that bring about meaningful change.
Our knowledgeable team of psychologists have obtained qualifications from leading universities; contributed to the development of the field through psychology research and academic teaching; have diverse experience across a range of sectors including Victoria’s largest public health service, the justice system, and community mental health; as well as undertaken advanced training to continue to deliver high quality psychological care to our community.
