Michal is a clinical psychologist working with adults across the lifespan. Her practice centres on depression and anxiety, complex trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, diverse gender and sexual identity and women's mental health and wellbeing.
Michal’s key areas of practice are:
- Complex and childhood trauma, PTSD
- Eating disorders and body image — anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID and atypical presentations
- Perinatal and postnatal mental health — including birth trauma, tokophobia and emetophobia
- Women's mental health across life stages
- Gender identity and sexuality, including LGBTQIA+
- Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and assertiveness
Michal currently works in public inpatient psychiatric services alongside her private practice. She has previously worked as an eating disorder psychologist in a specialist team, in university counselling, drug and alcohol, and community health settings.
Therapy with Michal is warm, honest and goal-oriented, but unhurried. Michal believes change starts with feeling safe enough to be genuine — which can sometimes include humour. She'll encourage curiosity rather than judgement, work at your pace, and ask openly what's helping and what isn't. The goal is to shift the long-held patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and to leave with a stronger sense of your own resilience.
Michal’s core modalities are EMDR, Schema Therapy, CBT-E for eating disorders, CBT, ACT, and mindful self compassion. Trauma-informed throughout, and considerate of cultural, gender and sexual diversity.
Michal is a registered provider with Medicare and private health Insurers, and a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPI), ANZAED (Australia New Zealand Eating Disorder Association), Full Member of EMDRAA (EMDR Association of Australia) and AusPATH (Australian Professional Association For Trans Health)
