Hello, I'm Iuliia Kapinos,
a Certified Clinical Psychotherapist based in Melbourne, registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia.
As the founder of Bayside Therapy, my goal is to provide you with a safe and confidential environment for your therapeutic journey. I use various tools tailored to your needs as a psychotherapist. My primary approach is Transactional Analysis, but I also incorporate relational psychoanalysis, a body-oriented approach, and the EMDR method to help you uncover the root causes of your concerns and discover effective solutions.
My approach is holistic, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes to ensure lasting results. With my extensive training, considerable experience, and empathetic nature, I'm dedicated to assisting my clients in achieving their goals and leading healthier, happier lives.
Think of me as a friendly guide on a journey to understand your feelings. Life can sometimes be puzzling, and it's perfectly okay to seek help. As humans, we all have feelings, and it's important to take care of them.
During our time together, I'll be here to listen to you and understand what's happening in your heart and mind. After all, nobody knows you better than yourself. Our journey is a collaborative one, where your active participation is essential for achieving positive outcomes. Therapy's success relies on both of us working together to make life feel better.
I'm genuinely interested in understanding how you think and feel, even how your body responds to different emotions. It's all connected, and we'll explore this through your stories about past and present.
I'm excited to work with you and help you achieve your goals. I truly believe everyone has potential to grow.
Sometimes, when life gets a bit tricky, that's when we start searching for answers. Together, we can find solutions to help you feel better and navigate your path in life.
