Ms Magali Couineau, MPsych

Clinical Psychologist

“Magali Couineau has over 29 years experience utilising psychological techniques to help draw upon your inner strength and abilities.”

About Me

With over 29 years of experience, I help individuals uncover their inherent abilities and inner strength. My approach uses psychological techniques to guide you in accessing your own resources. We can work together to explore your unique strengths, building confidence to navigate life’s complexities. This collaborative space is ideal for those seeking to understand themselves better, fostering lasting well-being and resilience.

Approach

My sessions move from gentle curiosity into practical, paced work that helps you notice and strengthen your own capacities. I meet people in Melbourne and online, in English or French, creating a predictable rhythm — brief check‑ins, focused assessment, then short, experiential exercises to practise between appointments. The work uses mindful attention, guided imagery and structured reflections to shift how you respond to anxiety, grief, relationship patterns and life changes. People seeking steady, practice‑based support often find this approach helpful.
