Skylar Bartolo is a psychologist based in Ivanhoe, VIC, working from 30 Seddon Street, Ivanhoe VIC 3079. She provides counselling sessions that aim to help people feel more steady, especially when life gets stressful or thoughts start to run a bit wild. You can expect sessions that are practical and focused on what’s going on for you right now.
As a psychologist, Skylar looks after people who want support with anxiety and stress. In many cases, this means working through worries, stressful situations, and the way those feelings can affect everyday life. She also helps clients notice patterns in how they respond under pressure, then try out new, more helpful ways to cope.
Her approach often includes behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This can be a good fit if you’re looking for clear steps you can actually use. Sessions may involve learning stress management techniques, building calming strategies, and using anxiety management strategies that feel realistic in day-to-day life. Over time, the goal is to help you feel more in control, even when things don’t go to plan.
Skylar also brings a calm, grounded style to therapy. She understands that change can take time, and it’s normal to have good weeks and harder ones. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. In therapy, you can slowly work out what’s driving your stress or anxiety, and then build small changes that add up.
In terms of education and research, the details aren’t listed here, and her main focus is on face-to-face support and therapy rather than clinical trials. If you’re considering counselling, it can help to bring along what you’re dealing with most at the moment, and we can start from there.
