1. What trauma therapy in Bondi Junction actually looks like

Trauma therapy is a structured, collaborative process in which a registered psychologist works with you to process difficult or distressing experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are not about being pushed to revisit pain before you are ready. The focus is on building a safe therapeutic space first, then working through experiences in a way that reduces their hold on your day-to-day life.

At this practice, trauma and PTSD sessions are described as a safe, paced space to process difficult experiences. That framing is intentional. Trauma responses. Including intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, disrupted sleep and emotional numbness. Are the nervous system's way of protecting itself. Effective therapy respects that, rather than racing past it.

Sessions run for fifty minutes and can address both single-incident trauma (such as an accident, assault or medical event) and complex or cumulative trauma that has built up across months or years. The work is individual. There are no group sessions at this practice, and the approach is tailored to what you bring.

2. The evidence-based approaches Constanza uses

Trauma therapy draws on several established frameworks. These are not interchangeable. The approach used in any given course of therapy depends on what presents in sessions and what fits the individual.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured protocol designed to help the brain process memories that have become "stuck" in a way that keeps generating distress. It uses bilateral stimulation. Most commonly guided eye movements. While the person holds a targeted memory in mind. The aim is to reduce the emotional intensity of the memory without erasing it.

Trauma-focused CBT examines the relationship between traumatic experiences, the thoughts and beliefs that formed around them, and the behaviours those beliefs drive. It is particularly suited to people who find it useful to understand the cognitive patterns that keep distress alive.

Schema Therapy works at a deeper level with the long-standing emotional patterns. Sometimes called schemas. That often develop in response to early or repeated adverse experiences. It can be especially useful when trauma has shaped core beliefs about safety, trust or self-worth.

If you are weighing up whether in-person or online sessions would suit you better for this kind of work, the post In-Person vs Online Therapy. What Changes for Your Recovery offers a grounded comparison.

3. Who the service is for

Constanza works with adults and young people aged 16 and over. The practice is suited to people carrying experiences that feel unresolved. Whether labelled as PTSD, trauma, or simply as something that happened that has never quite settled. You do not need a formal diagnosis to seek trauma therapy.

A significant proportion of Constanza's clients come from migrant and international communities. She is a trilingual registered psychologist working in English, Spanish and Italian, and she brings an understanding of the compounded stressors that migration and cultural dislocation can create. For many migrants, trauma is not a single event. It is layered across the process of leaving, adapting, losing familiar support networks and building a new life in unfamiliar conditions.

The practice also works with people presenting with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship difficulties, and body image and eating concerns. These often sit alongside trauma rather than separately from it, and the work addresses them together rather than in silos. If you are unsure whether what you are experiencing fits a particular category, the guide to finding mental health support that matches your needs may help you orient.

4. In-person sessions in Bondi Junction and telehealth across Australia

The practice is based in Bondi Junction, in Sydney's eastern suburbs. Well connected by public transport and within easy reach of the inner east. Face-to-face sessions take place at the Bondi Junction consulting rooms.

Telehealth sessions are available for people across Australia who prefer to work remotely or who are not based in Sydney. Telehealth trauma therapy follows the same evidence-based framework as in-person sessions. It is a practical option for people in regional areas, those with demanding schedules, or anyone who finds the home environment more conducive to open conversation.

If you are based outside of Sydney and looking for a trauma psychologist who can work with you online, the telehealth option means geography is not a barrier to accessing consistent, quality care.

5. Medicare rebates. What you need to know

Medicare rebates are available for psychology sessions when you hold a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. To access a rebate, you will need to visit your GP first and request a referral under the Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative. The rebate reduces your out-of-pocket cost per session, though a gap fee applies.

The standard fee for a session at this practice is AUD 220 for Migration Therapy; fees for other services are available on request. If you have a current Mental Health Care Plan, ask about the applicable gap when you make contact. The plan must be current and in your name for the rebate to apply. There are no exceptions to this requirement, as it is a Medicare condition, not a practice policy.

If you are unsure whether you qualify or how the referral process works, your GP is the right starting point. The practice can also answer questions about the administrative side when you make your booking enquiry.

6. How to book a trauma therapy session with Constanza

Booking a session is the most direct way to find out whether this practice is the right fit. You can reach out via psconstanzatirado.com, where the contact and booking information is available. There is no waitlist barrier to making an initial enquiry. The process starts with a conversation.

When you get in touch, it helps to have a rough sense of what has brought you to look for trauma support, whether you have a Mental Health Care Plan, and whether you prefer in-person sessions in Bondi Junction or telehealth. That information allows Constanza to confirm availability and suitability from the outset, rather than going through several rounds of back-and-forth.

If you have been searching for a PTSD therapist in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, or looking to book trauma therapy in Sydney more broadly, this practice serves both. The Bondi Junction rooms for those who can attend in person, and telehealth for those who cannot. The important thing is making contact. Most people find that the uncertainty about whether to reach out fades quickly once they do.

Taking the next step

Trauma does not resolve by waiting. It tends to stay in place until something moves it. And that movement usually requires a structured, safe therapeutic relationship. Whether you are dealing with a specific event, a period of sustained difficulty, or a pattern of reactions that has never quite made sense, trauma therapy gives those experiences somewhere to go.

Constanza Tirado Subiabre is a registered psychologist based in Bondi Junction who works primarily in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, and the emotional dimensions of migration. Sessions are available face-to-face in Bondi Junction and via telehealth across Australia, in English, Spanish and Italian. Medicare rebates apply with a valid Mental Health Care Plan.
