Mariela Astorga

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with AHPRA, with extensive training, supervision, and personal analysis in the psychoanalytic tradition. My practice is informed by Lacanian psychoanalysis.

With an extensive experience in clinical psychology and strong foundation in psychoanalysis, my professional journey has been focused on unlocking the vast potential of each individual.

After years of working in clinical psychology, I worked in the corporate sector as CEO and Creative Director for an IT business coaching multidisciplinary teams and developing strategies to build the performance capability of the organization. This working experience has enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of the intrinsic relationship that exists between performance and self-knowledge, psychological growth and assertive decision-making.

I have a casual, warm and empathetic approach to therapy, where I work with you to explore where your difficulties have come from, and the patterns in your life that are an obstacle for you. 

I am committed to work with you on a transformative journey that involves delving into the rich, complex fabric of your life to aid in navigating towards an existence filled with more meaning, awareness, and fulfillment.
