Melbourne Clinical Psychology
A safe space to understand how your early experiences and cultural contexts have shaped you, and most importantly, how you can heal, change, and create the life you desire.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Dr Natasha Tung, a Clinical Psychologist based in Camberwell, Melbourne.
I help adults improve their relationships with themselves and with others. I provide individual therapy in Melbourne, in-person or virtually.
For Individual Therapy, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while drawing from Attachment Science, Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic Principles.
I particularly love supporting clients through their fears and anxieties that are holding them back in relationships, communication, work, and sense of self.
I take an active and analytical approach to therapy, gently interrupting unhelpful patterns, encouraging critical self-reflection, and providing a clear, structured plan for meaningful change. My clients appreciate my ability to balance compassionate support with accountability, helping them navigate life’s challenges while considering the influence of cultural identity and personal context.
Through our work together, I help clients build emotional resilience and self-acceptance, strengthen their self-worth and relationships, understand their impact on relationship dynamics, find deeper meaning, and reduce feelings of isolation. My goal is to provide a direct yet empathetic therapeutic space—one that is nonjudgmental, engaged, and deeply committed to supporting you in creating lasting change.
I know that starting therapy is a big commitment—one that takes courage and vulnerability. You may have been struggling for a while, considering therapy on and off, or even doubting whether the right support exists for you. Perhaps you question whether you truly deserve this space. But now, you’re here, ready to give yourself the chance to grow and break free from old patterns. Even if things feel difficult right now, the fact that you’re seeking support means you still have hope, and that’s fundamental for change. I’m here to honour that commitment—to help you build a life and relationships that aren’t just repetitions of past limitations, but of the connection and fulfillment you truly seek.

I VALUE BEING ABLE TO HELP YOU
Cultivate hope in your ability to create change, no matter how deeply ingrained or long-standing your patterns of thinking and feeling may seem.
Develop transformative skills that can enhance your relationships and shift your attitude toward life. From my experience, many interpersonal challenges stem from a lack of specific skills. This offers hope—like any other skill, these can be learned, practiced, and refined. Over time, these skills become second nature, changing how you live and experience the world.
Build emotional resilience, which is your capacity to persist in your efforts, resist feelings of hopelessness, accept the unpredictable and sometimes unfair nature of life, and tolerate distressing emotions with the understanding that they are temporary. You will also learn to exercise your autonomy, doing what you can despite challenges.
Foster confidence and self-efficacy, empowering you with the belief that you have the ability to influence your life, shape your relationships, and creatively find meaningful solutions to the obstacles you encounter.
