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.
For some people, self criticism does not feel like a problem. It feels like the reason they get things done. The harsh voice in their head might be exhausting, but it also seems to push them to work harder, prepare more carefully, avoid mistakes and keep going when they would otherwise stop.
For many gay men in Melbourne, dating can feel exciting, hopeful, exhausting, and strangely personal. A delayed reply, an unanswered message, or seeing someone active on an app can quickly become much more than a disappointing interaction.
Depersonalisation after panic can be one of the most unsettling parts of anxiety. The intense physical symptoms may have passed, but afterwards you still do not quite feel like yourself. You might feel detached from your body, emotionally numb, strangely distant from your thoughts, or as though you are watching yourself move through the day.
