Sophie G. Zaloumis is a Psychiatrist based in Melbourne, working from 207 Bouverie Street, Melbourne, VIC 3010, Australia.
In her sessions, the focus is on listening and helping people make sense of what’s been going on in their body and their mind. Sometimes stress shows up as clear mental health symptoms. Other times it can sit alongside physical health problems, and that can feel confusing and tiring.
Sophie works with adults and young people who may be dealing with things like conversion disorder, where emotions and stress can affect how someone’s body works. She also helps with hyperventilation, which can happen when someone feels overwhelmed or panicky, and it can be hard to settle back down once it starts.
At times, people also come with concerns that link in with broader medical issues. The kinds of problems listed for her practice include conditions such as sepsis, stridor, and different blood and iron related disorders. There are also items like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and hemochromatosis. When someone has both physical symptoms and mental strain, it can help to have a clinician who is willing to look at the whole picture.
Because presentations can vary a lot from person to person, the approach is usually practical. The aim is to understand what’s happening, why it might be happening, and what can be done to reduce the distress. Over time, that can mean building better coping routines, improving day-to-day functioning, and supporting calmer, more steady thinking.
Sophie’s work covers people who are not just looking for quick fixes. They often want to feel safer in their own body and get clearer about their triggers. That might involve talking through what’s been going on, learning what can set symptoms off, and putting plans in place that feel realistic.
For many people, the hardest part is feeling stuck. When symptoms keep coming back, it can start to affect sleep, relationships, work, and confidence. In many cases, support from a psychiatrist can help people feel more in control again, even if progress is gradual.
