Dr Gita Akerstein is a Psychologist based in Caulfield South, Victoria. You’ll find the practice at 39 Jupiter Street, Caulfield South VIC 3162. She provides counselling sessions for people who want help sorting through what’s been going on in their mind and day to day life.
Day to day, therapy can look like learning how to manage stress, deal with anxious thoughts, and feel more steady again. Dr Akerstein uses approaches that are practical and focused on real life. In many cases, that means making sense of patterns that show up in behaviour and mood, then working on ways to shift them.
Her sessions can include behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). These kinds of strategies are often used to help with anxiety management, and to support people when their worries feel like they’re taking over. At times, stress can build up quietly, and then suddenly it’s hard to cope. In therapy, you can work on stress management techniques and learn tools you can use between sessions, not just during them.
The aim is usually simple: help you feel more in control and cope better. Therapy may involve talking things through, spotting triggers, and trying small changes that build over time. Dr Akerstein focuses on helping people move forward at a pace that feels manageable, whether things have been tough for a while or you’re dealing with something more recent.
