Michaela Levas

Michaela Levas is a psychotherapist registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). She has four years of clinical experience working with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, low self‑esteem, life changes and ADHD. Michaela states she uses psychotherapy along with techniques such as clinical hypnosis, ego state work and narrative therapy in her practice.

She aims to help people notice repeating patterns and understand how those patterns affect day‑to‑day life. Sessions commonly focus on recognising internal parts, speaking through difficult feelings and finding clearer personal priorities. Michaela describes her role as helping people reconnect with their own voice and take practical steps forward.

Her approach draws on trauma‑informed psychotherapy principles while using narrative work to examine the stories people tell about themselves. Ego state methods and clinical hypnosis are used in session to access different aspects of experience and to support integration of those parts. Those techniques are described as tools to increase self‑understanding and behavioural change.

Michaela works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, commitment worries and communication problems. She also addresses control struggles, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, family of origin concerns and related shame and guilt.

People often come to her feeling stuck after a major change or questioning their life purpose. Michaela explains that her work moves from insight into concrete steps, helping people test new ways of relating and acting in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Psychotherapy in Michaela's practice centres on talking work that identifies repeated patterns and practical changes. Narrative therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and helps reframe unhelpful themes to support clearer decision making and behaviour change.

Ego state work explores different parts of a person’s inner life and how those parts interact. This approach aims to help people notice conflicting impulses, improve internal communication and try out new responses. Clinical hypnosis is used as a focused tool to access memory or emotional states and to support integration of insights into everyday habits.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Michaela will work with the client to decide which combination of techniques fits their needs, goals and preferences. She describes therapy as testing changes together rather than promising a single method will fix everything.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in meetings or remove travel time.
