About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I’m Dr Mikaela Sansone-Pollock, a counselling psychologist. From the moment we meet I will receive you and your concerns with respect, regard, and without judgement. I am trained in multiple modalities to support people like you to feel better. Whether you have been experiencing low mood or anxiety, panic attacks, trauma-related symptoms, low self-esteem, or any of the many other challenges that one can experience in life, I am here to help.
Practice description
My approach is based on a deep-rooted respect, and unconditional regard for you, the client, and includes the humanistic belief that you are the expert on yourself. This means I work alongside you, listen to your preferences, and utilise my vast training, experience, research, and knowledge, in a unique combination to support you and your specific concerns. I will be your guide and we will determine the path and methods together. I provide a lot of information on the process and feel it's important to be genuine and transparent in our work and my knowledge.
The methods we may utilise to support their wellbeing include elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-centred Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and others. When appropriate I enjoy using humour and find laughing together in sessions can provide its own sense of relief.
I have specific expert knowledge on the relationship between lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, nutrition, sleep) and mental health. I have recently published a peer-reviewed article on the subject and conducted five pieces of research over four years on this important connection. This knowledge has been helpful to my clients in therapy and we utilise it in different ways. Most often checking in on these foundational elements alongside our psychological therapy.
Prior to becoming a psychologist I worked for 15 years in international marketing and communications in several different countries. This has given me valuable insight into various workplace environments and stressors which has been helpful in supporting my clients.
