About Michaela
Michaela Levas is a PACFA-registered psychotherapist who focuses on helping people understand and shift the patterns that cause suffering. She works in a trauma-informed way and uses practical therapeutic methods to help clients notice unhelpful beliefs, access inner resources, and make changes that matter.
Michaela blends psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis, ego state therapy and narrative therapy to support lasting change. She helps people identify repeating patterns, meet different inner parts with kindness, and reconnect with their own clarity and voice. Sessions aim to move insight into action rather than leaving change only as ideas.
Her work is grounded and straightforward. Michaela invites curiosity and gentle challenge so people can reclaim choice in how they live. She speaks plainly about emotions and behaviours, and helps people build steps they can use between sessions.
Across four years of practice she has worked with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, and helps people struggling with self-esteem and big life changes. She also supports people with ADHD-related challenges and with issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency and communication problems.
Michaela describes her approach as human-centred and practical. She encourages clients to take ownership at their own pace, and to apply new strategies in day-to-day life. Her aim is to turn small shifts into meaningful progress.
How Michaela’s approaches work online
Evidence-based techniques such as psychotherapy help people map patterns, name emotions and develop practical steps to change behaviour. Psychotherapy is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns and self-esteem work because it focuses on understanding thoughts and actions and trying new ways of responding. Clinical hypnosis involves guided mental focus to help access resources and calm the nervous system. It can support people who want help with stress, anxious states or embedding new coping habits. Ego state work looks at different parts of a person’s inner life and helps them communicate and integrate those parts. This approach can be helpful when someone feels conflicted, dissociated or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit what the client needs over time. You work together to test what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm available formats when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow more flexible timing for work or family commitments.Areas of expertise
