Judith Minster is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in East Melbourne, in Melbourne’s inner east. You can find her at Suite 9, 228 Clarendon Street, East Melbourne VIC 3002.
Judith works with adults, couples, and families who want help with day-to-day struggles and bigger emotional problems. Sessions can be for things like anxiety, low mood, stress that feels like it won’t shift, or relationship issues that start to wear people down over time. At times, people also come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
Her work often focuses on clear, practical ways to understand what’s going on, and then make changes that actually fit real life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one tool she uses. CBT can help when thoughts, feelings, and behaviours start to feed each other in a loop. Judith helps people spot the pattern, test new ways of coping, and build skills they can use between sessions.
For couples, she offers counselling that’s aimed at improving how you communicate and respond to each other. That might mean working through recurring arguments, rebuilding trust, or sorting out how to handle conflict without it spiralling. For families, sessions can give everyone a chance to be heard, and support healthier ways of dealing with change and stress.
Stress management also plays a big role. Judith looks at what’s driving the strain, and then works with people on coping strategies that feel doable. These might include routines, ways to slow down when emotions run high, and practical steps to reduce unhelpful habits. The goal is often to help you feel steadier, not just “okay for a week”.
Judith’s approach is calm and grounded. She understands that therapy isn’t always easy to start, and it can take time to find the right words. Over many sessions, people usually build confidence in how they handle tough moments, and how they show up for themselves and others.
