Meet Christina Gilto

Christina Gilto is a Registered Psychologist at Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai. She works with adults across the Sutherland Shire and online across Australia, with a particular focus on women's mental health through life's major transitions, from pregnancy and early parenthood to perimenopause and midlife.

​

Some women specifically prefer to see a female psychologist, particularly when talking about menopause, the perinatal period or other experiences specific to women. Christina creates a calm and considered space, and her approach is collaborative and practical, building confidence and strategies that carry into everyday life.

 

Christina has completed training in menopause and midlife mental health through the Menopause and Midlife Mental Health (Australasian Menopause Society). She works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause, including disrupted sleep, anxiety, low mood, and the shifts in identity and confidence that can come with midlife.

​​

In the perinatal period, she supports women through pregnancy, postnatal depression and anxiety, and the emotional adjustments of new parenthood.

​

Christina also works with anxiety more broadly, including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and with people affected by trauma.

 

For adults living with ADHD, Christina offers therapy focused on attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation and the everyday impact ADHD can have on work, relationships and self-understanding. She also provides adult ADHD assessments.

​​

Christina supports people affected by workplace stress, psychological injury and trauma, including those involved in Workers Compensation and CTP claims. Therapy may focus on recovery, adjustment and rebuilding confidence and day-to-day functioning after injury.
