Magdalena Stanojcic

Psychotherapist

I am a compassionate and competent Gestalt Therapist, and I have many years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. I invite you to join therapy sessions with me, to process your emotional responses, to increase your capacity for self-awareness, to gain more clarity or simply to address a dilemma.

About Me

I offer a compassionate and experienced approach as a Gestalt Therapist, welcoming adolescents, adults, and families. I invite you to explore your emotional responses, finding a deeper understanding of yourself. In our sessions, we can increase your self-awareness, gain clarity, or address specific dilemmas. This space is for you to feel truly seen, helping you find your way forward with renewed insight.

Approach

Sessions move at your pace, attending to present-moment experience while gently tracing patterns from past hurts. I meet you in Melbourne or online, and can work in English, Hungarian or Yugoslavian so language feels less of a barrier. We notice body signals, try small experiments in-session and set practical steps between meetings to ease anxiety, repair relational habits and create safer ways of relating after trauma. People juggling attention differences, parenting demands or relationship stress often find this practical, observant way of working helpful.
