Your spots are part of your story

Trauma-informed online therapy that honours you as you are, spots and all

Rathi Lieberum

MPsych (Clinical), BPsych Hons

I'm a registered Clinical Psychologist offering online, trauma-informed therapy for individuals navigating difficult life experiences. ​Spotted Bananas was inspired by the idea that our life experiences leave “spots” that tell our story. Just as a banana ripens and develops spots over time, our lives are shaped by experiences that are both nourishing and challenging. These experiences leave marks, not as flaws or weaknesses, but as signs of our adaptation, survival, and resilience.​ In therapy, we explore your experiences together with curiosity and compassion, supporting you in making sense of them and moving toward change at a pace that feels right for you.

Client Testimonials

"Rathi is a really supportive listener. I always feel she lets me ramble on, but she is actually quite skilled. She is able to tease out the issues that I am facing and keeps our sessions quite focused. I treasure the insights she has brought to our sessions. I like that the sessions are flexible, and I can speak to her from home. On bad depression days, this convenience is much appreciated."

- A.N

"Rathi is very easy to speak with. She explains each step of the process well and is both understanding of how you feel and the fact that it takes different people a different amount of time to open up. Also, I have found she is able to make connections between memories and experiences that I did not think were connected but subconsciously were. In just a few sessions she has made me realise a lot about myself."

- S.H
