Female Counselling in Glen Iris, VIC

Shana is a registered clinical psychologist who is also a Member of the Australian Psychological Society. She has experience working with adults of all ages, presenting with a wide range of psychological problem including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship difficulties, parenting issues, infertility, perfectionism, eating disorders, and trauma.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and a qualified Nutritionist. I have a passion for helping people find peace and contentment in their lives, free from emotional distress, and for providing clients with the tools they need to support themselves in the future. I have a particular interest in how diet influences mental health. I am open to seeing adults and adolescents with a range of mental health presentations including weight management, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, anger, addictions, parenting issues and psychosomatic complaints.

All of us go through many changes and challenges in our lives. As we are experiencing those tough times it is good to have someone outside our family or circle of friends to talk to. The talking in itself gives clarity. I have various strategies to help (beyond just talking if that's appropriate) but the journey we take will be one we take together. No magic wand, unfortunately, but all of us have higher wisdom within ourselves which we can access and which can come to our aid. I have had many years of training and experience and bring these to our sessions.

As a psychologist, past teacher, and parent, I feel privileged to work collaboratively with children, adolescents, families, and schools to help advocate for children, to allow their voices to be heard, and to provide understanding and support in bringing out the best in all young people. Giving children courage and skills to navigate difficult, confusing, or anxious situations in their lives builds their confidence and resilience. With a focus on helping young people better understand themselves and their circumstances, goals and strategies centre around realistic expectations, skill development, and hope for a preferred future.

Why "Dragonfly Psychology" I hear you ask? Dragonflies symbolise change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realisation. For centuries they have been used to represent happiness, new beginnings, hope, change, and love. How perfect a metaphor for therapy is that?

I work with individuals & couples experiencing anxiety, low mood, intrusive or obsessive thoughts, self-image or identity difficulties, and relationship issues. At the root of these concerns might be complex trauma, stressful life events, or perhaps grief & loss. The grief could be over a loved one, a broken relationship, or a dream that feels out of reach. I'm also deeply committed to supporting those who experience marginalisation, isolation, or exclusion, & those managing chronic health problems. Each person I work with has a unique story to tell; I believe in the importance of using an equally unique approach to therapy.
