Anaphase

Psychotherapy & Psychoanalytic Group Therapy in Melbourne

Anaphase is a concept borrowed from the field of biology. It represents a stage in the division of a human cell where a single cell splits into two. This process continues as the cells divide further, forming a group of interconnected cells that ultimately make up the human body.

Why?

In a world where people often face complexity alone, I believe in the power of the group to think, feel, and grow together. At Anaphase, I create group spaces that support deeper understanding, new perspectives, and meaningful development – because a group can hold more than any individual, offering reflection, challenge, and support that lead to real change.
