Mr Neil Maizels, MA

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Verified

“Relationship issues, emotional struggles -child, parenting, adolescent, adult - creative block, midlife issues, life satisfaction, depression, loss, identity.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful space to explore relationship issues, emotional struggles, or creative blocks. For adults, adolescents, children, or parents, we can gently uncover the roots of depression, loss, or midlife questions. This approach helps make sense of persistent patterns affecting your identity and life satisfaction. Clients seeking a deeper understanding of themselves will find a curious and supportive environment.

Approach

Curiosity shapes how I work: sessions move at a measured pace, attending to felt experience, stories and slips that reveal persistent patterns. I offer face-to-face appointments in Melbourne and secure English-language online sessions for people balancing work, family or study. Through careful listening, reflective questions and occasional focused assessment we explore parenting influences, identity shifts and the sources of creative or emotional blockage, with space between sessions to notice change. This approach suits those seeking thoughtful, steady attention to roots rather than quick fixes.
