How Sessions Work
Patrycja draws on several evidence-based approaches and blends them to suit the person in front of her, rather than fitting people to a model. Sessions typically run 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly to begin with.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Practical skills for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and relationships.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Building a workable relationship with difficult thoughts, and moving toward what matters.
Systemic & Family Therapy
Understanding patterns between people, not just within them.
EMDR
Processing traumatic memory so it stops living in the present tense.

FAQS
Common Questions
No referral is needed to book privately. If you'd like to access a Medicare rebate, you'll need a GP referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
Yes. Patrycja offers both in-person and secure online sessions, so you can continue therapy while travelling or if getting to an appointment is difficult.
It depends entirely on what you're working through. Some people come for a handful of focused sessions; others stay longer. You'll review progress together as you go.
Mostly listening. Patrycja will ask about what brought you here, what you'd like to be different, and any history that helps make sense of it, at whatever pace feels manageable.
