Psychologist in Spring Hill, Brisbane
You may be keeping up with the demands of everyday life, while privately feeling exhausted, self-critical or under pressure to meet high expectations. Perhaps you feel stuck in familiar patterns, find yourself reacting in ways you don't fully understand, or sense that something in your life isn't quite working as you'd like. My approach is patient and exploratory, helping you understand the emotional and relationship patterns that may be contributing to the difficulties you're experiencing.

Who I Work With
People come to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes things have become overwhelming. Other times, there is a growing sense that certain feelings, reactions, or relationship patterns keep repeating.
Feeling exhausted even after resting, struggling to switch off or feeling guilty when you slow down.
Perfectionism and high expectations
Holding yourself to demanding standards, feeling that what you do is never quite enough or being persistently critical of yourself.
Self-esteem and self-doubt
Struggling with confidence, questioning your own worth or finding it difficult to trust your judgement.
Relationship difficulties
Experiencing recurring conflict, difficulty with closeness or patterns in relationships that are hard to understand or change.
Recurring emotional patterns
Noticing familiar feelings or reactions appearing across different situations, without always understanding where they come from.
Blocks to creativity and self expression
Holding back parts of yourself for fear of judgement or finding it difficult to express your thoughts, feelings and ideas freely.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I generally work with people who are interested in meeting regularly, usually weekly, and taking time to better understand themselves and their experiences.
What Working Together Looks like
Therapy is a place to talk about what you're experiencing and gradually make sense of it. We can explore what's happening in your life now, as well as how earlier experiences and relationships may shape the way you feel, respond to pressure, and connect with others.
My approach is relational and psychodynamic. In practical terms, this means working together to notice and understand patterns that might not be immediately obvious. The way you experience relationships, including what emerges in therapy itself, can sometimes help us understand those patterns more clearly.
Developing a clearer understanding of these patterns can sometimes create more room to respond differently, both to yourself and to the people around you.
I generally recommend weekly sessions to give our work continuity. Some people come with a particular issue they'd like to explore over a focused period, while others prefer longer-term therapy. We can discuss what feels appropriate for you.
About Mitchell
I’m Mitchell Oehlman, a registered Psychologist practicing in Spring Hill, Brisbane.
I completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science with First Class Honours at Griffith University, where I was awarded the University Medal. I subsequently completed a Master of Clinical Psychology at Griffith University and have since undertaken further training in psychodynamic therapy.
I aim to provide a thoughtful and open space where you can speak honestly, even when you're not entirely sure how to put your experiences into words.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn't to tell you what to think or what you should do, but to provide you with the appropriate conditions to develop a better understanding of what matters to you.
