Ms Phoebe Lu is a Psychologist based in South Melbourne. She works from 183 Bank Street, South Melbourne VIC 3205, in a calm, practical space where people can talk things through without feeling rushed.
Ms Lu supports people of different ages and situations. Many clients come in when life feels a bit heavy—work stress, family pressure, or just the day-to-day strain that builds up over time. At times, relationships can also feel shaky, and that’s when couples and families often find therapy helpful.
Her approach includes individual therapy sessions, where you can explore what’s going on for you and work out small, realistic ways to cope. Sessions are a place to slow things down and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, especially when stress is getting in the way of sleep, focus, or everyday life.
Ms Lu also offers couples counseling. Relationship challenges can show up in lots of ways, like poor communication, misunderstandings, or feeling stuck in the same arguments. Therapy can help partners talk more clearly, listen better, and work toward changes that actually fit the relationship you have.
For families, she provides family therapy. Family life can be full on, and it’s not always easy to find a balance between everyone’s needs. In sessions, the aim is to get everyone on the same page, reduce tension where it’s possible, and find healthier ways to respond when things get tough.
Alongside talking therapy, Ms Lu focuses on stress management techniques. These are practical tools you can use between sessions. In many cases, clients leave with strategies for calming down, dealing with pressure, and handling stressful moments without feeling like you have to “power through” on your own.
Ms Lu’s sessions are built around what matters to you right now. She keeps things grounded and real, so you’re not just talking about problems—you’re also figuring out what could work better moving forward.
