Ms Janika Bellizzi

I am Janika, a warranted Gestalt Psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults, offering a supportive and relational space where you can explore your experiences safely and at your own pace. My professional background includes several years working as a Social Worker within the Foundation For Social Welfare Service. I have also provided support to survivors of sexual assault, delivered outreach programmes at MCAST, and facilitated supervised access visits between children and their biological parents. These experiences have deeply shaped my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexity of relational dynamics. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, emotional distress, low self-esteem, behavioural challenges, and relational struggles. I also welcome those who may not have understand yet what they are going through, but feel a desire to understand themselves more deeply or move through life with greater clarity and authenticity. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in the principles of Gestalt psychotherapy. I value meeting you where you are, with empathy, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. Together, we explore your present experience, increase awareness, and reconnect you with your internal resources, resilience, and sense of agency. I aim to offer a grounded and containing presence, with any particular you are experiencing. Therapy, for me, is a collaborative process, one that honours your pace, supports meaningful growth, and encourages lasting change.
