About Itay
Itay is comfortable supporting people through a wide range of mental health difficulties, including personality disorders, and regularly works with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep disturbances and depression.

She offers both short-term, focused interventions and longer-term, in-depth psychotherapy, tailoring the pace and depth of work to each person’s needs. Itay supports clients who want to explore development, meaning and personal growth, and places a high priority on the effectiveness and safety of the therapeutic relationship. PACFA denotes a professional credential for counselling and psychotherapy in Australia, which reflects her recognised standing within the profession.
Attachment, Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Informed Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people explore attachment needs, improve relationship dynamics and build more secure ways of connecting with others. Psychodynamic Therapy examines recurring themes, emotional patterns and unconscious processes that influence behavior and choice. It can support deeper understanding of personal history, meaning and long-standing difficulties that affect current life. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences, helping individuals process distressing memories, reduce intrusive symptoms and develop coping strategies to manage the impact of trauma.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Itay works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the mix and pace of approaches so that therapy feels supportive and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These methods make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or other convenient locations, and choose the communication style that suits each stage of work with a licensed professional.
