Hi! I'm Luvena Susanto, Clinical Psychologist and founder of Nestara Psychology. I often work with adults who feel low and burnt out, struggle with anxiety, have recurring relationship problems, and want to understand their emotional experiences more deeply. Trauma is also an area that I am interested in, especially how it shows up in relationships. More specifically, we may be a good fit if you: - Struggle with feeling low and burnt out - Find it hard to deal with anxiety despite having tried several strategies - Experience recurring relationship difficulties and want to know why - Feel disconnected from your emotions and want to understand why you react the way you do - Have experienced trauma and want to learn how to deal with it - Looking for not only practical strategies but deeper emotional insight. I believe that therapy can offer a meaningful opportunity to better understand yourself, your relationships, and the emotional experiences that may be keeping you stuck. While structured sessions that focus on practical strategies and techniques can sometimes be helpful, my approach is more relational and insight-oriented. Sessions tend to feel conversational and reflective, with space to slow down and explore what is happening beneath the surface. Rather than positioning myself as the “expert” on your life, I see therapy as a collaborative process, where two people are working together to understand your difficulties, your experiences, and the ways you hope to grow and change.

Ben is a Clinical Psychologist with experience in assisting adults and adolescents to manage their difficulties and journey toward a rich and meaningful life. He does this by providing a collaborative space that is warm, safe, judgement-free, and sometimes even humorous! In this space, Ben will empower you to identify your strengths, develop strategies and tools for positive change, boost wellbeing and resilience, and build understanding and acceptance of yourself. Ben’s approach is primarily informed by the evidence-based “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” (ACT). Ben also draws upon elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy to suit your personality, goals, and individual needs. Ben offers a free 15 minute phone consultation to have a chat about your needs and concerns, and most importantly determine if you feel he’s a good fit for you! Ben offers face-to-face appointments (in Kew), as well as telehealth/video appointments for your convenience. Ben currently offers appointments on a Monday.
