Della Michie is a psychologist based in Kew, VIC. She works from Suite 502, 89 High Street, Kew VIC 3101.
Sessions focus on helping people make sense of what’s going on and find practical ways to cope. This can be for individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or tough life changes. It can also be for couples who are stuck in the same patterns, or families trying to work through conflict and better support each other.
Della offers individual therapy sessions, couples counseling, and family therapy. At times, people come in looking for quick relief, and other times they want to understand why things keep repeating. Either way, the work is guided by what matters most to the person or family in the room.
There’s also a strong skills-based approach. Behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are part of the way sessions are run. CBT can be helpful when thoughts and feelings start to pull someone off track, or when new habits are hard to build. Behavioural strategies can support change step by step, especially when anxiety or stress is affecting sleep, work, relationships, or day-to-day confidence.
People often find it easier to talk things through with a therapist who stays calm and clear. Della’s style is about being real and steady, not pushing. Over time, clients usually build better tools for dealing with difficult moments, and they learn how to respond instead of react.
In many cases, therapy also looks at communication and coping skills. For couples and families, sessions may cover how to talk during conflict, how to set boundaries that feel fair, and how to move towards solutions that hold up in real life.
Training in evidence-based methods like CBT helps shape the therapy process. If a person or family needs something more specific, the plan can be adjusted to fit, based on the situation and goals.
For anyone in Kew and nearby areas, Della’s practice offers a space to slow down, sort through what’s happening, and work towards change that feels manageable.
