About Michaela
Michaela Levas is a PACFA psychotherapist in Australia with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self‑esteem, life changes and ADHD concerns. Her focus also includes codependency, attachment and family of origin issues.
Michaela uses psychotherapy alongside clinical hypnosis, ego state approaches and narrative methods. She pays attention to patterns people fall into, helping them notice how those patterns affect choices and relationships. Sessions often involve naming patterns, practising new responses and weighing realistic next steps.
Her work addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame and isolation. She supports people who struggle with control, impulsivity or dissociation to recognise internal parts and how those parts show up in daily life. She also helps people work through abandonment, commitment and communication problems.
Michaela speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on concrete changes people can try between meetings. She aims to reconnect clients with their own clarity and voice so they can make decisions that feel right for them. She does not promise outcomes but helps people turn insight into action.
Registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), Michaela brings a grounded, practical approach to therapy. People who want to understand their patterns and build stronger boundaries often find this a useful way to begin.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Michaela works with psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis and ego state approaches. Psychotherapy here means talking through patterns, testing small behaviour changes and planning practical next steps. Clinical hypnosis involves guided relaxation and focused attention to access thoughts and feelings that are hard to reach in ordinary conversation, which can help with anxiety and stress management. Ego state approaches look at the different internal parts people carry, naming those parts and helping them communicate so choices feel clearer.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Michaela will discuss options with each person and adapt sessions based on what feels useful and doable. The first few meetings are used to figure out which approach fits the person’s goals and what practical steps to try between sessions.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people continue therapy during life changes while they test new responses in their usual environment.
