About Michaela
Michaela Levas is a psychotherapist registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and has four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self‑esteem, life transitions and ADHD. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns and find practical ways forward when things feel stuck.
Her practice blends psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis, ego state work and narrative therapy. She explains patterns as parts of experience that can be spoken to and understood. In sessions she helps people identify those parts, bring them into dialogue and reduce the influence of unhelpful reactions.
Michaela often works with issues that grow out of early attachments and family dynamics. She addresses abandonment, attachment wounds, family of origin problems and communication difficulties in plain terms. People also consult her about codependency, commitment worries and feeling disconnected or isolated.
When trauma or dissociation is present, she uses grounding and parts‑work approaches to make difficult memories easier to manage. The clinical hypnosis and ego state methods are used to support integration of those parts and to build steadier emotional responses. Michaela aims to move insight into practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Life purpose is a recurring theme in her work for clients who are rethinking careers, identity or direction after change. She asks direct questions, maps patterns and supports slow, repeatable experiments so people can see what helps them keep going. Sessions are conducted in English in Australia.
Evidence-based approaches used online and in session
Michaela uses psychotherapy to map patterns and narrative therapy to reframe life stories. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from repeating problems and try new ways of acting when roles feel stuck.She also works with ego state approaches which treat parts of the self as voices or roles. That method helps when people feel pulled in multiple directions, experience dissociation, or struggle with impulsivity and shame.
Clinical hypnosis is used as a practical tool to support calm, focus and clearer access to inner resources. It can assist people who want help with anxiety, rebuilding confidence or practising new responses between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Michaela will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs and comfort level, and she adjusts methods as progress is observed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Therapists and appropriately qualified or registered professionals often use online sessions to maintain momentum between face‑to‑face meetings and to support steady progress.
