Common Concerns
You may be:
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Feeling down or anxious
Noticing patterns around food, body image, or self-criticism
Struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation
Noticing recurring relationship or attachment patterns
Searching for clarity, direction, or a deeper sense of meaning
Our work focuses on developing deeper insight into these patterns and what's happening beneath the surface. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and work towards meaningful, sustainable change.
"Patterns often make sense when we slow down and understand what they are trying to protect."
About Connected Self Psychology
Connected Self Psychology is a Melbourne-based psychology practice led by Clinical Psychologist Mia Johannsen.
We offer a warm and professional space, grounded in evidence-based approaches and a respectful, collaborative therapeutic relationship. We understand that meaningful change often begins with a sense of safety — where you can gently explore your inner experience, at a pace that feels right for you.
Our work supports you to develop a deeper understanding of your relational patterns and emotional experiences, strengthen your connection to self, and deepen your capacity for connection with others, while also working toward meaningful and lasting change.
