Monique Pittas (She/Her)

Many adults I work with in Melbourne feel stuck between feeling too much or not enough, often struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or people-pleasing patterns. My primary approach is EMDR therapy, an evidence-based treatment that helps the brain process overwhelming or stuck experiences so they no longer create the same distress. I also integrate Schema Therapy and self compassion therapy to address deeper patterns, supporting meaningful and lasting change.

Services

I’m a psychologist who works with adults navigating the impact of past experiences, patterns that feel hard to shift, and the inner weight of worry, shame, or not feeling “enough.” If you’ve landed here, you might be looking for support that sees the whole of you, your history, your strengths, your identity, and the ways your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

I offer evidence-based therapy that’s grounded in respect, curiosity, and compassion. My approach is:

  • Neurodiversity-affirming

  • Weight-inclusive and non-diet focused

  • LGBTQIA+ inclusive

  • Trauma-informed and identity-affirming

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored to who you are, not just your symptoms.

A central part of my work is EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which supports the brain and body to process painful or overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel as activated or stuck. EMDR can be especially helpful for healing from trauma, complex PTSD, and long-held emotional patterns.

​

Depending on your needs, I also draw on:

  • Schema Therapy

  • Self-compassion approaches

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

  • SSCM (Specialist Supportive Clinical Management)

 

I Support Adults With:

  • Ongoing anxiety, overthinking, or inner criticism

  • Eating disorders and difficult relationships with food and body

  • Feeling stuck in patterns that trace back to early or unresolved experiences

  • Trauma and complex PTSD

  • Low self-worth, shame, or disconnection from your sense of self
