Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
For many women, perfectionism is not simply about high standards or wanting to “do things well”.
Often it develops as a way of feeling safe, accepted and emotionally protected.
Many women living abroad become highly skilled at monitoring themselves:
how they speak,
how they appear,
how they are perceived,
whether they are doing enough,
achieving enough,
adapting enough.
Over time, this constant self-monitoring can create emotional exhaustion, anxiety, chronic pressure and a nervous system that struggles to fully relax.
For many Italian women living between cultures and expectations, perfectionism can become deeply connected to belonging, identity and the fear of being judged as “too much”, “not enough” or somehow different.
My work explores the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath perfectionism, people pleasing and over-functioning.
I offer a warm, reflective and holistic space where women can begin reconnecting with self-worth, authenticity and inner safety without constantly needing to perform, adapt or prove themselves.
I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT, embodiment, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based approaches to support women in moving from chronic pressure toward greater emotional ease, regulation and self-trust.

Bendigo is Victoria's fourth-largest city, an inland regional centre with a celebrated gold rush heritage, outstanding cultural institutions including the Bendigo Art Gallery (one of Australia's finest regional galleries), and a contemporary economy built on healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Bendigo Health provides public mental health services to the region, and La Trobe University's Bendigo campus contributes trained mental health professionals and a student population to the local landscape. The surrounding Loddon Mallee region includes significant rural and farming communities, and Bendigo functions as a major referral point for mental health services across a large agricultural hinterland where access is a persistent challenge. Common therapy concerns include rural and farming community stress, student mental health, regional isolation, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a regional city competing with Melbourne's pull for young professionals and families.
