With a genuine passion to design and develop solutions which meet participant outcomes, I bring a commitment to becoming a NDIA registered provider to enable the support of NDIA-managed clients.

I, Dr Nadia Petruccelli, am a Clinical Psychologist who has completed a Professional Doctorate of Clinical Psychology at La Trobe University. I have over 14 years of experience practicing as a Clinical Psychologist working across a diversity of settings with a wide range of clients. This has included working in private practice with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, trauma, psychosis, neurodiversity, and personality disorders. I also have an extensive history of working within public Adult Mental Health services, most recently in Leadership roles.

I am experienced in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of high prevalence disorders - anxiety (including OCD and PTSD) and depressive disorders, low prevalence disorders - mania, personality and psychotic disorders, and alcohol and drug disorders in both adolescents and adults. I also work with individuals who identify as neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and Autism, providing understanding and tailored strategies. With experience working across various settings and across diverse age groups, cultural communities, and life experiences, I bring a flexible and inclusive approach to meet each person's unique presentations and needs. My work is grounded in understanding each person's unique story and offering strategies tailored to their needs and goals.

I pride myself on taking a warm, empathic and collaborative approach to my care with clients, focusing on developing the therapeutic relationship with a genuine desire to understand and help. This is combined with a strong understanding of psychological models and evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and anxiety management.

I am registered with the Australian Health and Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and able to provide psychological services under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative. I also offer psychological services to people with Worksafe, NDIS and DVA funding.

I am also a board-approved Clinical Psychology Supervisor and am passionate about the importance of supervision for Psychologists.

A calm, practical approach to navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

I am an ACA-registered counsellor based in Melbourne, providing person-centred, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming support to individuals experiencing a range of mental health and wellbeing challenges.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, emotional overwhelm, and the impacts of stress, injury, or ongoing health conditions. My focus is on helping individuals build practical strategies to improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen resilience, and feel more confident in managing day-to-day life.

My approach is grounded in being inclusive, respectful, and responsive to each person’s unique experiences, identity, and way of processing the world. I work in a neuroaffirming way, supporting neurodivergent clients without pathologising difference, and adapting sessions to suit individual needs, communication styles, and preferences.

In our sessions, I take a structured yet flexible approach. Together, we explore what’s been happening for you, develop greater self-understanding, and work towards meaningful, sustainable change. This may include building emotional regulation skills, increasing self-awareness, and gradually re-engaging with areas of life that may currently feel difficult.

I am particularly experienced in supporting individuals who feel stuck, avoidant, or overwhelmed. I work at a pace that feels manageable, creating space for things to unfold while maintaining a clear sense of direction and progress.

My style is calm, approachable, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and able to speak openly. Sessions are tailored to your needs, and where appropriate, I may incorporate creative and sensory-based approaches to support expression and emotional regulation.Alongside my counselling work, I bring over 18 years of experience working across diverse professional and community settings. This allows me to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and communicate in a way that is practical, grounded, and easy to engage with.

I value consistency, trust, and genuine connection in the therapeutic process, and I am committed to supporting you in a way that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
