Our team draws on a range of well established therapies, including:
We do not take a one size fits all approach. Therapy is shaped by what you are dealing with, what makes sense to you, and the pace that feels workable.
We work in a trauma informed way, recognising that past experiences can affect mood, behaviour, relationships, and mental health. This matters not only in trauma work, but across many kinds of therapy.
We aim to offer care that feels steady, respectful, and thoughtful, especially when trust, shame, or overwhelm have made it hard to reach for help.
Cova Psychology was founded by clinical psychologists Sarah Valentine and Chris Coleiro. Both remain actively involved in the practice and in the care offered across the clinic.
Across the team, our psychologists work with a broad range of concerns using well established therapeutic approaches. We also take client feedback seriously and use it to keep improving how care is experienced.
We offer clinical supervision for psychologists and mental health clinicians, with a focus on reflective practice, ethical thinking, and the realities of clinical work.
Starting therapy is simple. We take the time to understand your needs and connect you with a psychologist from our team who feels like a good fit.
At our Melbourne psychology practice, people sometimes ask, “Why do I dissociate when I know I am safe?” They might describe feeling numb during an argument, watching themselves speak from a distance, losing track of a conversation, or suddenly feeling as though the world is not quite real.
You may know that you are uncomfortable, but not whether you are hungry, anxious, overheated, tired, or becoming unwell. You might feel fine for hours, then suddenly realise that you urgently need food, water, rest, or the bathroom.
When low mood arrives suddenly, it is often easier to recognise that something has changed. Persistent low mood can be harder to see, especially when it has gradually become part of everyday life.
