Tegan Bradilovic is a psychologist based in South Melbourne. You can find the practice at 183 Bank Street, South Melbourne VIC 3205. Tegan helps people work through tough times, using practical strategies you can actually use day to day.
Sessions are built around counselling and a steady, supportive way of talking things through. At times, life stress can build up without you really noticing. Other times, anxiety can sit in the background and start to affect sleep, work, or relationships. Tegan looks at what’s been going on, and then helps you map out a few clear next steps.
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is one of the main approaches used in therapy. It focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. In many cases, that means spotting patterns you’ve fallen into and learning how to shift them in a calmer, more helpful direction. It’s not about pretending everything is fine. It’s more about gaining control of the things you can influence.
Alongside CBT, behavioural therapy and anxiety management strategies are used when they fit what you need. Sometimes that’s about changing routines, practising new ways to respond, or breaking down situations that feel too big on your own. Stress management techniques can also be part of the plan. These might include tools for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, and ways to pace yourself so things don’t spiral.
Over time, the goal is to help you feel more steady and less stuck. Therapy can take time, and it’s okay if you don’t feel better straight away. With consistent sessions, you can build skills that last beyond the appointment. If you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or just feel like you’re running on empty, Tegan’s approach is geared toward making things more manageable and helping you move forward, one step at a time.
