About Velda
Psychodynamic psychotherapist, registered with PACFA, with 25 years' experience. Velda Morisco works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers sessions in English and Italian and has practised across Asia and Australia.
Velda uses a psychodynamic approach that pays attention to patterns in feelings and relationships. She helps people notice how earlier experiences shape current thinking and behaviour. Sessions are collaborative and aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.

Velda draws on experience supporting people through relocation, multicultural adjustment and the strains that can affect family ties after a move. She understands how different family members may respond differently to the same change.
Velda trained first as a nurse and completed a Master of Mental Health in Psychotherapy. She is registered in Australia with AHPRA, is a member of the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN) and the Australian Nursing Council (ANC), and holds PACFA membership.

Psychodynamic work and remote sessions
Velda describes her main therapeutic approach as psychodynamic psychotherapy, which focuses on noticing recurring feelings and relationship patterns and how earlier life experiences influence current behaviour. This approach can help with long-standing relationship issues, mood concerns and the effects of trauma by making those patterns clearer and more manageable.She also draws on experience from youth and family therapy settings, using conversation to address family of origin issues, separation, and adjustment after relocation. That practical focus can help people who are dealing with cultural change, immigration stress and tensions that arise when family members cope differently with the same events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Velda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses. The aim is to agree a plan that fits the client's needs and daily life.
Her online sessions are conducted using Zoom according to the practice details. The site booking steps let you confirm the current session options and schedule appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed; confirm the exact formats offered before booking.
