About
Michaela Levas is a clinical, trauma-informed psychotherapist who brings a practical and humane approach to therapeutic work. With four years of professional experience and registration with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), she combines psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis, ego state therapy, and narrative techniques to help people better understand recurring patterns and internal dynamics. Her practice emphasizes exploration of parts, meaning-making, and reclaiming personal agency.
Michaela centers compassion and clarity in sessions, guiding individuals to meet and integrate their internal parts while restoring a clearer sense of voice and direction. She attends to issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes, and also works with concerns like attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, dissociation, compulsive patterns, and panic symptoms.
Grounded and intuitive, Michaela focuses on translating insight into concrete steps clients choose to take. Her work aims to create opportunities for self-understanding to inform new ways of relating to oneself and others, and to support people as they take ownership of the stories that shape their lives.

Online therapy style and tools
Michaela offers an integrative online approach that draws on clinical hypnosis, ego state therapy, and narrative methods. In clinical hypnosis she uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access sensory and emotional material in ways that can deepen therapeutic exploration. Ego state therapy is described in accessible terms as working with distinct parts of the self to increase internal cooperation and reduce inner conflict. Narrative therapy supports re-authoring life stories so people can identify patterns and make different choices.
These approaches can be combined in collaborative sessions, with Michaela inviting clients to set goals, experiment with techniques, and reflect on what feels most helpful. The online format supports this work through a mix of conversation and experiential exercises adapted for remote delivery.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication mode that best fits their needs and comfort.
