Arpita Rapose is a psychologist based in Kew, in Melbourne’s inner east. She works from Suite 502, 89 High Street, Kew VIC 3101. Sessions are available for people who want a calm, practical space to talk things through, especially when life starts to feel a bit messy or heavy.
As a psychologist, Arpita offers individual therapy sessions for adults and teens. This can suit a range of situations, like stress that builds up over time, changes at home or work, worries that won’t switch off, or feeling stuck in the same patterns. Some people come in knowing exactly what they want help with. Others are still sorting it out, and that’s okay too.
Arpita also provides couples counseling. Relationship problems can be small at first, but they can grow when communication gets harder, trust feels shaky, or both people are trying but not quite landing in the same place. In many cases, therapy helps couples slow things down, understand what’s driving the conflict, and find ways to talk that feel safer and more respectful.
Family therapy is another part of Arpita’s work. Families can move through busy stages, and at times the stress shows up as arguing, distance, or tension that’s hard to name. Therapy can give families a place to step back, look at what’s going on, and work out next steps that fit how they actually live.
Group therapy may also be an option. Groups can feel a bit confronting at first, but they can help when you want support from people who understand. Listening to others, and having your own experiences heard, can make things feel less lonely.
What stays consistent across individual, couples, family, and group work is the focus on helping people move forward in a way that feels doable. Sessions aim to be grounded and respectful, not rushed. Arpita helps clients make sense of what’s happening, then build tools for coping and change that can be used in day-to-day life.
If you’re not sure what type of session fits best—individual, couples, family, or group—Arpita can help you sort that out. It’s often easier when you start with the main issue on your mind, then gradually fill in the details as you go.
