SAM CRISTINI
Clinical Psychologist
BPsychSc, GradDipPsych, MPsych (Clin)
Available for appointments on Fridays
Working with a wide range of people, I often hear the common misconception that if you need therapy, that means something is wrong with you. Therapy isn’t about fixing something that is broken. If you’ve ever felt alone, down, anxious, stuck, confused, if you’ve ever wanted to learn more about your mind or emotions, if you’ve ever been curious about yourself, your behaviour, or been motivated for change, therapy is for you.
Together, we will work on strategies that address the root causes of your difficulties, build your self-esteem and independence, and help you move towards the version of yourself you’re seeking. I am particularly interested in helping you to build a sense of purpose and identity, explore decision making and flexible thinking, modify unhelpful mindsets, become aware of subconscious and automatic reactions that are getting in the way, unlearn behaviours that keep you stuck, and improve relationships with yourself and others. This could be a brief experience or one that requires a little more time and consideration, depending on what you’re looking to achieve.
Working together will involve using a range of therapeutic techniques while providing other important experiences such as consideration, care, learning, curiosity, questioning, confronting and humour. Whether you’re at the beginning, the end, or the peak of your mental health journey, the ultimate goal is to help you to become your own therapist, so that you can move forward independently with confidence.
Therapies I draw from: DBT, CBT, ACT, attachment theory, psychodynamic, somatic therapy, emotion-focused coping, motivational interviewing
