Miss Maria Eugenia Ali

Psychotherapist

“I am a Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages through life’s challenges and transitions. My integrative approach blends talk therapy with somatic practices, polyvagal-informed techniques, meditation, breathwork, and practical tools, creating a safe and empowering space for lasting growth.”

About Me

I am a psychotherapist in Bondi Junction, New South Wales, Australia. I work with people experiencing abuse, anxiety, autism (ASD), life transitions, and behaviour issues. I offer individual therapy, mindfulness, and practical coping skills for anxiety, transitions, and behaviour challenges.

Approach

Sessions move between gentle conversation and somatic noticing so you can feel and name what’s happening in your body as well as your thoughts. In Bondi Junction or via secure online appointments, in English or Spanish, the pace is collaborative and adaptable to your needs. I guide breath and polyvagal-informed regulation, teach short mindfulness practices, and co-design small between-session experiments to try new responses to anxiety, trauma or behavioural patterns. This approach tends to help people facing transitions, burnout or neurodiverse challenges who want practical, embodied change.

Psychotherapy sessions provide a confidential, person-centred space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Using a holistic approach that combines talk therapy, body-based awareness, trauma-informed care, and parts work, sessions support emotional regulation, personal growth, and reconnection with your inner wisdom. In my practice, I take an integrative approach tailored to each individual’s unique experiences, pace, and needs.
