Ms Shiva Chouhan

Psychologist

“I offer a tailored approach to treatment, guided by your unique character and presentation. My training focused heavily on psychotherapy using psychoanalytic and psychodynamic methods. I have since combined these understandings with other methods such as CBT, ACT and EMDR. Each will be drawn on as deemed appropriate.”

About Me

I offer a truly tailored approach, believing therapy should always fit you. My extensive training in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic methods provides a deep understanding. I thoughtfully combine this with techniques like EMDR, CBT, and ACT. This flexible integration ensures our work directly addresses your unique character. We will explore what feels right for your specific journey, helping you navigate challenges effectively.

Approach

Sessions move at a measured pace, attentive to your rhythms and the patterns you bring. From my practice in Victoria and via secure online sessions in English, I hold a contained, predictable space where we can gently track what keeps you stuck and what opens up. Work combines reflective listening, focused interventions and small practical experiments between meetings so you can practice different responses to anxiety and trauma memories. People seeking clearer emotional direction and steady, collaborative progress tend to find this approach helpful.
