"What I love most about this work is the moment someone realises they don't have to keep doing things the way they've always done them. That shift — from stuck to genuinely moving — is what I'm here for."
– Evita Lopez | Registered Psychologist
Evita has been part of the 12 Points Psychology community since 2019 - working with us at our Crown Court rooms alongside her much-loved therapy dogs, Teddy and Phoebe until 2023. We were sad to see her go when she moved out of Melbourne - but thrilled to now welcome her back for one day per week via telehealth.
Who Evita works with…
... new mums navigating the relentless demands of early parenthood — the feeds, all the feelings, and the very little sleep — as well as teens and young adults finding their footing in a world of social media filters, comparison culture, and body pressure. She also works with adults who have a complicated relationship with food and eating, including those diagnosed with certain eating disorders.
Learn more about Evita’s
approach from Evita herself.
Evita has experience with...
... perinatal mental health, including postnatal anxiety, the identity shifts that come with new motherhood, and the pressure many women feel to 'bounce back' after having a baby. She is a credentialled member of the Australia and New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED), which reflects her special interest and ongoing training and commitment to safe, evidence-based eating disorder care. Evita also has a soft spot for anxious minds — particularly in young people navigating the unique pressures of adolescence and early adulthood.
Evita’s approach to therapy is...
... warm, collaborative, and genuinely goal-oriented. She creates a space where clients feel understood, while keeping one eye firmly on the changes they came in wanting to make. When things feel stuck or unclear, Evita slows down, gets curious alongside her client, and refocuses on what matters most. She's open and transparent about how she works, so you can figure things out as a team.
The clients who tend to get the most from working with Evita are those who feel ready to challenge old patterns, put in the effort, and genuinely want things to feel different.
