Elena Pozzi is a Psychiatrist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
She looks after people who are dealing with tough changes in mood, thinking, and day-to-day functioning. In many cases, that means supporting adults and teens who are feeling weighed down by major depression. Other times, she helps people understand and manage symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), especially when it starts affecting school, work, relationships, or sleep.
Mental health can be messy. Stress, grief, burnout, and life transitions can all play a part, and it’s rarely just one thing. Elena takes a practical approach, focusing on what’s happening for you right now and what can help next. Sessions usually aim to make sense of symptoms, sort out triggers, and find a plan that feels realistic. At times, that might include talking through medication options, along with other supports that can make a real difference over time.
Because ADHD and depression can show up in different ways from person to person, she pays attention to the small patterns, not just the big labels. People might come in feeling flat, numb, anxious, or overwhelmed. Others may feel restless, distracted, or stuck in a loop of starting and stopping things. Elena works with patients to sort out what’s driving the problem, and then help build steps to cope better.
Over time, she also helps patients plan for the long run. That can mean working on routines, improving focus, and putting strategies in place for harder days. It can also mean reviewing progress and adjusting the plan when life changes. If you’re not sure what’s going on, that’s okay too. You don’t need perfect words to start.
Elena’s training is in psychiatry, and her work is based on safe, evidence-informed care. She also keeps up with new information in the field where it can help patients make more informed choices. For most people, the goal is simple: better support, clearer direction, and more stability.
