Philosophy & Vision

I am not currently taking new clients. I work part-time with individual adults. I have over 20 years of experience in working with trauma, grief and loss, depression and anxiety. I provide a calm safe space and tailor my interactions to the needs of my clients. I believe in working with clients to learn more about themselves and their capacity to develop skills to enhance well being.

Background

I completed my first psychology degree in New Zealand and my postgraduate degrees in Australia. I first worked as a psychologist in private practice in country Victoria and then moved to Melbourne where I worked for 18 years with refugee and asylum seeker survivors of torture and trauma. I have now returned to private practice where I enjoy working with a diverse range of people.

A conversation with Arna Stewart

I have always been a curious observer of others so psychology made sense because it is a study of human experience and behaviour. Becoming a psychologist and counsellor has been a natural and enjoyable progression for me.
I like the psychodynamic approaches because they consider how early attachments and life events shape our view of the world and how we respond to challenges and to each other.
