Psychology Place

Dr Karen Weiss

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a primary focus upon couples counselling which has spanned my entire career. Heading up South Melbourne Psychology has meant that I have been able to put my knowledge from 20 years of experience into the development of an integrated practice model. This model understands the person in their context. This means looking at how problems and symptoms manifest as a result of such things as lifestyle or upbringing or socialisation or past hurts and memories. The aim is to find ones own healing wisdom, a space where acceptance of self is possible and negative self sabotaging cycles are left behind.

I use traditional methods such as CBT, problems solving and conflict resolution techniques while also offering my learning from Buddhism, existentialism and psychoanalysis.

I have worked with family relationships for my whole career. Check my good relating blog on this site.
