Welcome to Bita Psychology Martin Street

Located in the heart of Belgrave, my clinical psychology Belgrave consulting rooms offers a tranquil space tailored to invite those experiencing various life challenges. The Belgrave location provides the serenity of the Dandenong Ranges, making it an ideal setting for therapeutic work. My approach uses the Lacanian psychoanalytic and psychodynamic treatment principles, enriched by years of experience, to address each person's particular topics with careful consideration.

Nestled in the heart of Belgrave, psychologist Belgrave the practice offers more than just accessibility to psychological care; it brings the benefits of psychoanalytic treatment and psychotherapy (traditionally centered in Melbourne's Carlton and CBD) now close to those in the Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave, Tecoma and surrounding areas. With a foundation in Lacanian psychoanalysis and clinical experience in treating complex issues, Bita Riazati is committed to providing a truly individualised approach that uncovers the sources of suffering, beyond just managing symptoms.

Bringing Psychoanalytic Treatment to Belgrave

Accessible Psychoanalytic Therapy Outside the CBD - Psychologist Belgrave
In addition to Bita's professional experience, the Belgrave psychology practice itself offers unique therapeutic benefits. Surrounded by the quiet natural beauty of the Dandenong Ranges, my practice provides a tranquil environment that complements the reflective and introspective work inherent in psychoanalytic treatment. This setting supports individuals seeking a quieter, more contemplative space to speak about their thoughts, fantasies, dream and daily challenges without distraction.

Unlike treatment models that prioritise symptom reduction alone, psychoanalytic therapy nurtures a space for you to speak about what comes to mind. This is achieved by the therapist's training which is very rigorous consisting of many more years of theoretical and clinical studies and personal analysis for many years. Psychoanalysis enables unconscious processes and underlying conflicts, often at the root of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship difficulties, to emerge and be worked on in our sessions. You pick the topics, and I help you talk more about them in the session.

Psychologist in Belgrave, my approach integrates psychoanalytic principles (e.g., regular sessions to talk) with a keen sensitivity to individual suffering, allowing us to work through layers of experience and meaning together. Usually, as the sessions progress, I may invite you to say more about aspects of your experience, such as childhood, dreams, slips of the tongue, and relationships. This journey can lead to a deeper and lasting shift in how you relate to yourself, others, and life's challenges. Appointments are limited as we are there, in Belgrave, only two days a week.
