Holistic

Psychology

  • I assume an integrative, ecclectic and transtheoretical approach to psychotherapy.

    I draw from a well-spring of orientations to help you attain the knowledge, wisdom, and confidence to rebalance your mood, to be more self-and-other aware, to gain fresh perspectives, and to untether yourself from unhelpful habits, behaviours, ideas and stories.

    This can include cognitive, behavioural, experiential, body-centred or somatic work, breath, energy-based practices, and symbolic work (dreams, imagination, tarot).

    You’ll grow your skills in practising observance and mindful contemplation to grow awareness and resist travelling down old, default pathways.

    You’ll be guided to clear old hurts and wounds, reinterpret and rewrite your story, and choose your actions more consciously for greater connection and meaning.

    Think of this as a whole person and alchemical process for observing, getting to know yourself and your world, and experimenting with new ways of being and doing.

    My sessions are underpinned by an acknowledgement of the unseen - including the symbolic, the synchronisitic, the sacred and spiritual. Tending to the Mystery is at the heart of my psychotherapeutic work with others.

  • This is for people stepping onto the path of change who desire more direct guidance, teaching and support.

  • I recommend weekly sessions intially - at least 4-6 sessions - before extending to fortnightly, then monthly ‘maintenance’ sessions.

    Longer term clients (after 2 years) can benefit from regular check-in’s every 2 - 3 months.

  • Initial session: $270 (50 mins)

    Ongoing sessions: $250 (50 mins)

    Extended Sessions - Initial: $370 and Ongoing: $350 (80 mins)

    Immersions Sessions: $660 (50 mins x 3) or $860 (50mins x 4)
    (All sessions within a fortnight; prepaid and pre-booked)

    *Medicare (Australian Residents Only) or your private health fund may partially rebate these sessions.

Trauma Therapy (DBR)

  • My approach to trauma therapy is a body-centred process: Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR).

    DBR is a highly specialised process for working with trauma ad psychological injury.

    DBR is not a narrative therapy. It’s a body-centred process and approach for healing trauma at the deep brain level, where initial threat orientation and brace/shock experiences can keep people reactive or hyper-vigilant and stuck in a bio-psychological trauma loop.

    DBR works precisely with neuroanatomy of the brain stem to clear shock, re-establish healthy orienting, and allow the natural flow of responsivity to return to your mind-body system.

    It is steady and gentle. It’s tranformative effect occurs throuhg the shift in how you see yourself and the world - it is a perspective altering treatment for trauma.

    Deep Brain Reorienting can be for specific or situation-related trauma (PTSD or complex PTSD) or attachment trauma, which might not be connected to a particular memory and instead experienced as a general or vague sense of aloneness, shame, grief, fear or anger and /or chronic relationship issues.

  • Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is for people who wish to work through a specific event or situation-related trauma (PTSD or complex PTSD) or attachment trauma.

    DBR might also be appropriate for those who have done a lot of narrative work or therapy and have deep self-awareness but continue to feel “stuck” or hold a vague sense of something “wrong”.

    DBR can also be woven and integrated into Holistic Psychology and Soul Work sessions.

    Mendy recommends weekly integrated sessions (e.g Holsitic psuchology + DBR) intially (for 4-6 sessions) before extending to fortnightly, monthly then ‘maintenance’ sessions.

  • For DBR, 3 to 6 sessions is recommended.

    I find it helpful to weave focussed Trauma Therapy-DBR with Hoilstic Psychology sessions to support integration and consolidation.

    A weekly combination of DBR-Holistic Psychology sessions can have a powerful effect before extending to fortnightly/monthly sessions.

    Longer term clients (after 2 years) can benefit from regular check-in’s every 2 - 3 months.

  • Initial session: $270 (50 mins)

    Ongoing sessions: $250 (50 mins)

    *Medicare (Australian Residents Only) or your private health fund may partially rebate these sessions.

Soul Work

Spiritual Guidance, Coaching, Depth and Symbolic Self-Study

  • While I consider all my work with people as “soul work”, these sessions are more consciously deep, collaborative and intuitively guided. The focus is greater observance of life's symbolic, mythic, and sacred presence.

    I’ll guide you to observe your experiences, symptoms and challenges with curiosity and imagination so you can navigate difficulty, uncertainty, and times of change and transition in new and creative ways.

    You’ll be encouraged to delve deeper through the alchemy of dialogue, story, sound, movement, bodywork, energy work, ancestral connections, shadow and dream work, imagination, art, meditation and trance, and tailored self-study.

    Stand-alone Tarology and Dreamwork are included here. You can bring a question or issue to explore with the tarot or a dream to work with in collaboration.

  • This is for people who wish to be guided and supported in deeper personal development and transformation work. This is not a clinical or therapeutic session.

    You’ll enter these sessions with a capacity for self-reflection and embodied resilience, as I’ll be encouraging you to delve deeper into your psyche and soul.

    Mendy recommends weekly sessions intially (4-6 sessions) before extending to fortnightly, monthly then ‘maintenance’ sessions.

    Tarology sessions can be stand alone. These sessions reuqire openness to deep collaborative dialogue between you, me, the tarot.
