Whether you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship, with your family, at your workplace or in the way you relate to yourself, psychotherapy can support you to live a fuller life.
We offer therapy in English, Italian, French and Spanish.
I am Irene, founder of Numina Clinic, psychotherapist, and supervisor, currently practising at Integrative Psychology & Medicine in East Melbourne. With extensive training in the integrative approach to psychotherapy and over a decade of experience in teaching and practising yoga and bodywork, I bring a holistic awareness of both body and mind to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
​
I offer therapy in multiple languages and am passionate about guiding individuals and couples on their personal journeys.
​
I view psychotherapy as a form of "gentle activism"—a way to create better interpersonal connections and contribute to a more harmonious world. For me, psychotherapy is deeply fulfilling, as it allows me to witness people flourish in their lives, becoming their truest selves while fostering a profound sense of purpose and integrity.
How do we work?
Individualised treatment in the container of a therapeutic relationship
UNIQUENESS
At Numina, we uphold the notion that every person is truly unique in who they are, and my practice moves away from the one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Instead, I see people for their uniqueness, bearing in mind the close ties between the body and mind.
I draw on theories from a vast array of models to account for variables that can be missed in many clinical approaches to therapy.
INCLUSIVITY
At Numina, many of us have lived in different countries over the course of our life, We have experienced first-hand the impact that culture and socio-economic background can have on our sense of belonging, and our understanding of ourselves and others.
In our practice we adopt a gender-sensitive and multicultural approach, welcoming clients from all walks of life.
SAFETY
We take a gentle person-centred stance and I approach each client with curiosity and presence, to better understand the nature of your particular concerns.
Together, we work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that ensures each of your needs is met and we move at a pace that works for you.
We hope to facilitate a safe environment that evokes your natural capacities for healing and growth.
