Metaxia spent 8 years studying at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). After completing her Bachelor of Psychology with first-class honours, she continued into a combined degree where she completed a Masters of Clinical Psychology together with a PhD in attachment theory and fear learning. Metaxia is currently registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia and holds memberships with the Australian Psychological Society (APS), Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA), the Australasian Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ASTSS) and the Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED). Metaxia is an Eating Disorder Credentialed Clinician. Metaxia also offers clinical supervision as a Board-Approved Supervisor.
Metaxia has a warm, authentic and compassionate style in relating to her clients, while also encouraging and empowering them to work towards their own goals in building a ‘life worth living’. Metaxia holds the philosophy that she may be able to bring some level of psychological expertise to the table, but that at the end of the day the client themselves is truly the expert in the room when it comes to finding a way to change and grow. Metaxia will always work together with and alongside the client in finding the space to express their deepest concerns and investigating ways in which they might change the things they can and accept those they can’t.
Metaxia believes in an integrative, holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. She works in collaboration with relevant health professionals to ensure the best possible clinical outcomes for her clients. Metaxia’s relaxed, caring and mindful approach allows her clients to feel comfortable within the therapeutic environment.
Metaxia draws on the following therapeutic modalities as needed to best meet each individual’s goals:
Metaxia’s PhD research was focused on the role of secure attachment priming on fear learning. That is, how thinking of your loved one can help you cope with and recover from stressful events and prevent forming long-lasting fear memories. She has presented her research at many national and international conferences and has published this work in prestigious scientific journals.
Through her research, Metaxia has become passionate about identifying how each individual’s social support system interacts with their mental health and well-being.
