Dr James Antoniadis PsychologicalMedicine

Welcome to Dr James Antoniadis Psychological Medicine, located at Princess Street in Kew, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest in the health field, providing top-quality psychological services. Dr James Antoniadis is a highly skilled Medical Psychodynamic Psychotherapist who specializes in treating various mental health issues.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a powerful non-pharmacological treatment that addresses a wide range of conditions, including depression, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, social and relationship difficulties, work stress or career difficulties, sexual identity issues, existential crisis, and personality disorders. This therapy focuses on the unconscious mind, which often influences our thoughts and behaviors in ways that may not align with our desires.

The unconscious mind develops throughout our lives and helps us cope with various situations. However, sometimes we develop unhealthy thought patterns or assumptions that hinder our well-being. Psychodynamic therapy aims to bring these unconscious thoughts and patterns to light, making them amenable to change. By uncovering hidden meanings and processes, individuals can develop new, more adaptive ways of thinking and being.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship problems, addictions, career difficulties, and personality problems. It also helps individuals tap into their creativity and develop important capacities such as empathy, assertiveness, and self-awareness.

During therapy sessions, clients engage in exploring their dreams and thoughts that arise spontaneously (known as free association). Dr Antoniadis does not tell clients what to do or how to be but rather guides them in finding their own solutions while developing the necessary skills to implement them. This approach empowers individuals to be independent, creative, and free to live life to the fullest.

The number of sessions required and their frequency depend on each individual's needs. Maladaptive thought patterns are often associated with mental pain and resistance, so therapy requires a safe and consistent environment. Regular sessions are essential to keep the mind engaged in the process of exploration and growth. Generally, more frequent sessions lead to deeper and more profound changes. Therapy continues until the desired results are achieved, with each session lasting 45 minutes.

Our fees are set in accordance with AMA rates and are largely covered by Medicare and the Medicare safety net. There is no limit on the number of sessions set by Medicare, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support for their mental well-being.
