Antoinette Bastian, PACFA

Antoinette Bastian is a licensed Australian therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, loss and life transitions. She works with issues related to motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and offers guidance for navigating changes such as separation, midlife challenges, chronic illness and workplace difficulties. Antoinette draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and already has resources that can support change. Antoinette emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps and inner strengths to move toward a more fulfilling and happier life. She holds PACFA credentials - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - and provides care in English across Australia. Antoinette encourages those ready to take the first step toward change to reach out for support and to explore therapy at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-based techniques and connected online care

Antoinette uses practical, skills-based interventions that teach coping strategies for stress and anxiety. These approaches focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building concrete tools for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning, and are well suited to people seeking immediate strategies to feel more in control.

She also provides supportive work for grief, loss and life transitions that helps people process emotions, rebuild routines and clarify values. In relationship-focused sessions Antoinette helps clients improve communication, set boundaries and strengthen self-esteem to navigate interpersonal challenges more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Antoinette works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Antoinette is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access a licensed professional from home, work or wherever is convenient, while still receiving structured, evidence-based care tailored to personal goals.
