THERAPY APPROACH
Evidence-Based, Compassionate, and Personalised
At Petra Samlow Wellness, therapy is guided by psychological science and shaped around the unique needs of each individual. Petra integrates evidence-based approaches from cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, and humanistic traditions with RTT hypnotherapy to access deeper subconscious patterns. Every session is designed to help clients gain clarity, process underlying emotions, and develop the skills to create sustainable change.
​
Understanding the Whole Person
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Petra works to understand the person behind them — the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that influence behaviour and wellbeing. This process invites reflection, insight, and renewed self-connection, supporting growth that lasts beyond the therapy room.
​
Integrating Mind and Science
Therapy combines the art of understanding human experience with the rigour of psychological research. Sessions may draw on principles from self-determination theory, attachment science, mindfulness-based interventions, and neuroscience of change. The aim is not simply to cope but to thrive — cultivating awareness, autonomy, and emotional balance.
​
How Sessions Work
Psychotherapy sessions run for 60 or 90 minutes, while Hypnotherapy (RTT) sessions typically take around 120 minutes.
​
in-person or via zoom
Sessions can be held in-person in Caringbah, Sydney, or online via Zoom for clients across Australia and internationally. Together, we set clear goals, explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and practise evidence-based strategies to build confidence, resilience, and lasting emotional wellbeing.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Petra is next level amazing. I have spent majority of my adult life in and out of therapy. Obviously a personal journey, however, it hasn’t always been easy to find the right person to help me through. Petra dispels fear and anxiety and I haven’t experienced anything like her help. Life can be hard, but also we shouldn’t feel ashamed of needing to reach out and get help. I can’t praise her enough for how she is helping me and how much better I actually feel."
