Welcome to Bita Psychology: Barkers Road
Bita Psychology offers clinical psychology and psychoanalytic services in Kew, providing a confidential space for self-exploration, reflection, and meaningful change. Conveniently located and accessible from Melbourne’s CBD, the practice welcomes individuals seeking to understand their struggles, emotions, and relationships more deeply with psychologist in Kew.
At different points in life, people may find themselves repeating patterns or questioning their desires, asking: “Why do I keep doing this?” or “What do I truly want?” These struggles often relate to identity, relationships, or difficult affects such as anxiety, grief, or anger. Some may seek support for childhood trauma, ADHD, or complex family dynamics. Others may feel lost in their work, creative pursuits, or personal life, searching for a clearer direction.
Bita's approach is grounded in psychoanalysis, particularly the work of Jacques Lacan, who expanded upon Freud’s theories to explore the unconscious, language, and subjectivity. Her clinical work helps individuals examine how early experiences, unconscious conflicts, and social influences shape their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through speaking and reflection, patients may uncover aspects of their suffering, challenge deep-seated issues, and open new possibilities for change.
Psychologist Kew
Bita Riazati’s psychoanalytic training is connected to the international Lacanian community and the IF-EPFCL school. As a member of several psychoanalytic groups, including Lacan/UK and the Colorado Analytic Forum, she regularly participates in clinical discussions, case supervision, and theoretical study with analysts worldwide. Her practice is supervised by a very experienced analyst from Lacan’s original school (École Freudienne de Paris).
Her extensive experience includes:
- Psychotherapy & Long-term psychoanalytic treatment – for those committed to speaking and working with meanings in speech.
- Psychotherapy: treatment for children’s issues – addressing emotional and behavioral concerns with an experienced psychologist in Kew.
- Supervision: Lacanian supervision – focusing on how the therapist is implicated in the transference, rather than solely on the patient’s treatment.
- Supervision: Psychoanalytic listening for practitioners – attending to unconscious speech, slips, and repetitions in the patient’s discourse in case consultations.
Bita’s work is informed by over a decade of personal analysis, ensuring her practice aligns with the highest ethical and clinical standards. She sees individuals for both short-term psychological support and long-term psychoanalytic treatment.
