About Michaela
Michaela Levas is a psychotherapist registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) with four years of clinical experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD. Her approach blends psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis, ego state work and narrative therapy to help people understand their patterns and reclaim a clearer sense of self.
She frames self-understanding as the first step toward change. Sessions focus on identifying repeated patterns, meeting the parts of a person that keep those patterns active, and then practising different responses. Clinical hypnosis and ego state techniques are used alongside talking work to access shifts that can be hard to reach through conversation alone.
Michaela pays attention to how past relationships shape present behaviour. She helps people notice attachment wounds, boundaries that don’t serve them, and habits tied to guilt or shame. Work can include addressing abandonment, codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems and family of origin issues.
Practical skills are combined with reflective work. Clients may practise grounding, emotional regulation, clearer communication or steps to reduce impulsivity. The aim is to turn new insights into everyday changes rather than leaving them as ideas.
Appointments are offered from Australia and sessions are conducted in English. Michaela uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic methods used in online sessions
Michaela commonly uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This involves looking at events and relationships, naming unhelpful patterns, and practicing different ways of describing experiences so behaviour can change.She also uses ego state work and clinical hypnosis to access parts of experience that are out of conscious reach. Ego state techniques help people identify and relate to internal parts that hold fear, anger or protectiveness, while clinical hypnosis supports focused work on habit change and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michaela collaborates with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine methods over time based on what is most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
