Your Journey to Mental Wellness Starts Here.

Backed by Science, Driven by Empathy.

Dr. Antonio Simonelli is a highly regarded psychiatrist and psychotherapist based in Sydney, specializing in psychodynamic therapy, ADHD assessment, and brief interventions. With a deep understanding of both the mind and emotions, Dr. Simonelli helps patients achieve lasting change through evidence-based treatments and empathetic care.

Dr. Simonelli's practice is founded on the principle that neurobiological patterns shaped by past experiences significantly influence current mental health. His approach recognizes that unconscious neural networks, formed through life events and stored in the brain, play a crucial role in present cognitive and emotional processes. By addressing these ingrained neural pathways, Dr. Simonelli aims to promote neuroplasticity and adaptive functioning.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy delves into the unconscious processes influencing your present behavior. Rooted in traditional psychoanalysis, this therapy enhances self-awareness and understanding of how past experiences shape current behaviour.

Why Choose a Talking Therapy?

Psychotherapy induces neuroplasticity, altering brain structure and function. It strengthens neural pathways associated with adaptive thoughts and behaviours while weakening maladaptive ones. Over time, these neurobiological changes can lead to improved emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and overall mental well-being.

1 Improved relationships

Psychotherapy helps individuals develop better communication skills, emotional awareness, and empathy. This often leads to stronger, more fulfilling relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

2 Enhanced work performance

By addressing issues like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, psychotherapy can boost confidence and focus. This frequently results in improved productivity, decision-making, and overall performance in the workplace.

3 Better stress management

Psychotherapy equips people with practical coping strategies to handle life's challenges. This leads to reduced stress levels, improved physical health, and a greater sense of control over daily life, contributing to overall well-being and life satisfaction.
