Olivia Metcalf is a Psychiatrist based in Level 3, 161 Barry Street, Carlton, VIC 3053. She looks after people who are living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the everyday problems that can come with it.
PTSD can show up in a few different ways. In many cases, people have upsetting memories that won’t switch off, strong stress reactions, and a feeling of being on edge. At times it can also affect sleep, mood, and how safe day-to-day life feels. Olivia helps patients make sense of what’s happening, and work out practical ways to cope.
Mental health care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Olivia focuses on getting a clear picture of your symptoms and what triggers them. She then helps you build a plan that can support you through rough patches, not just in the moment. This might include working on emotional regulation, managing panic or hypervigilance, and finding ways to settle your mind when it’s racing.
People come in with different backgrounds and different levels of support. Some are dealing with work or family stress on top of trauma. Others are trying to recover after a big event and feel stuck in the same loop. Olivia’s care is calm and grounded, with an emphasis on support and steady progress.
