Who We Are
Inner View Psychology is a Melbourne-based psychology practice built on the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself. We provide evidence-based, insight-oriented therapy that is tailored to the individual, helping people make sense of the experiences, relationships and patterns that have shaped their lives.
We are committed to creating a calm, private and welcoming space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. Through collaborative, person-centred care, our psychologists work alongside each individual to foster greater self-awareness, emotional wellbeing and lasting change.
Our Mission
To provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychological care that helps people develop a deeper understanding of themselves, creating the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
Our Vission
To create a practice where therapy is defined not only by clinical excellence, but by genuine human connection—a place where clients feel safe to explore their inner world and clinicians are supported to provide compassionate, insight-driven care in an environment that values curiosity, authenticity and lifelong growth.
Our Story
Inner View Psychology was founded on the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself.
We created a practice for people seeking more than symptom relief alone—for those who want to better understand the experiences, relationships and patterns that have shaped who they are. We believe that insight and self-awareness form the foundation for lasting emotional wellbeing, allowing change to occur in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
The name Inner View reflects this philosophy. It represents looking inward with curiosity rather than judgement, developing a deeper understanding of yourself while cultivating the mindful awareness to recognise your thoughts, emotions and patterns as they unfold.
From the beginning, our vision extended beyond the therapy room. We wanted to create a calm, private and thoughtfully designed environment where both clients and clinicians feel at ease. Every element of the practice has been considered to foster a sense of comfort, privacy and reflection, allowing therapy to unfold without the distractions of a busy, clinical or corporate setting.
Our psychologists are carefully selected not only for their clinical expertise, but because they share our values of compassion, curiosity and person-centred care. While each clinician brings their own experience and therapeutic style, they are united by a commitment to understanding the whole person and tailoring therapy to the individual, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem challenges or simply seeking a greater understanding of yourself, our aim is to provide a collaborative therapeutic experience where you feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. We hope that, through therapy, you leave with a clearer understanding of who you are, greater confidence in navigating life’s challenges, and a deeper connection with yourself.
Our Team
Alina Shushkevich is a Clinical Psychologist who practises with a person-centred approach as her guiding principle. Her style is dynamic, taking guidance from clients on how they want their treatment and sessions to be structured. She works collaboratively to understand each individual’s unique concerns and therapy goals.
The initial focus of therapy with Alina is to build insight and help clients understand the unhelpful patterns affecting their daily lives and contributing to emotional, behavioural, and relationship challenges.
Drawing on this understanding, she supports clients in developing practical skills to manage difficulties and enhance psychological wellbeing.
