Low self-esteem can be caused by many things. Regardless of why you may experience low self-esteem, I am here to help you feel more confident and connected. Psychodynamic psychotherapy, particularly the Conversational Model, can be especially helpful in improving self-esteem.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
Many of us have been socialised to put our self-esteem into something outside of us, like our behaviour or productivity. Being a 'good girl' or a 'good boy' has often been the greatest burden around the neck, and the greatest anchor behind living a life of fulfilling, unique authenticity, on one's 'own terms'. Taking the step from doing what 'should be done' to what one truly wants to do is a big step.
Learning to accept oneself as simply 'enough' just as one is. That is the journey of healthy self esteem.

Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy (MCAP)
Our Self-Esteem is formed through our childhood experiences through our families, culture, political environments etc. I help the adults I see remove the negative self thoughts and low self esteem so they can have a more fulfilling and happy life.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

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.
