Lirim Mustafovski Hawthorn – Melbourne

Clinical Psychologist Registrar

Lirim Mustafovski

Therapy doesn’t require you to have clarity, direction, or even the right words to begin. Part of the work is creating space to slow things down and make sense of experiences as they are, rather than rushing to resolve them. Lirim approaches this process with care, offering a consistent and grounded environment where clients can begin wherever they are.

Based in Melbourne, Lirim is a clinical psychology registrar who works closely with clients to explore what sits beneath the surface of their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. His work draws on Schema Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, integrating insight-oriented approaches with practices that support emotional regulation and the development of self-compassion. Alongside building understanding, Lirim works with clients to strengthen their capacity to respond to challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and balance.

He supports clients with a variety of concerns, including:

  • Managing anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm
  • Navigating stress, burnout, and life transitions
  • Challenges in relationships, intimacy, and sexual wellbeing 
  • Processing trauma and its ongoing impacts 
  • Breaking unhelpful patterns and habits 
  • Strengthening assertiveness, boundaries, and self-confidence
  • LGBTIQIA+ affirmative support and identity-related experiences
