Richard Tronson

Psychotherapist · Melbourne

I am a human before I am a therapist. I came to this work through my own life, through loss, through difficulty, through the slow process of finding my way. That shapes everything about how I show up, and what I want to offer you: a place to feel deeply, speak openly, and make sense of things.

In my own life, I've experienced what it can be like to lose contact with myself, and how profound it is to be met by someone who truly listens and wants the best for me, someone able to offer their presence, their listening, and their skill as I slowly find my way.

My approach draws on relational and integrative traditions of psychotherapy: work that values the therapeutic relationship as the primary instrument of change, and that adapts what it offers to the person in the room rather than imposing a single model.

In practice this means we'll often move between focused conversation, slowing down to attend to what's happening in the body or in feeling, and stepping back to make sense of patterns across a life. The work is unhurried but not directionless. The direction is something we develop together.

Safety in this work means something specific: enough to go somewhere real, and to meet your own edges without being overwhelmed by them.

We work at your capacity. This means staying with what is to the degree it doesn't overwhelm you, and leaning into the discomfort of what's there.
