Lydia Mikhail is a registered psychologist based in Australia who works with adults. She provides psychological support for a range of concerns, including depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Lydia frames her work around practical problem solving and clear goals that reflect each person's values.
Trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Lydia uses a person-centred, collaborative approach to help clients develop practical strategies that support meaningful change aligned with their values. She aims to work alongside clients to identify manageable steps, build coping skills, and clarify priorities when facing transitions or everyday pressures. Lydia structures sessions to focus on what matters most to the individual and to translate insights into action that fits their life and circumstances.
Lydia provides remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her online work follows a person-centred, collaborative style that focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions. Communication options allow for regular check-ins and flexible pacing to suit different schedules and needs.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and adjust thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to stress and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to support committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy concentrates on practical goals and on identifying strengths and small changes that move a person toward what they want.
Clients who prefer a collaborative partner in planning and practising skills may find this combination of approaches fitting. Lydia works with each person to set goals, choose the methods that match their situation, and decide how best to use video, phone, chat, or messaging for ongoing support.
