Danu is a Melbourne-based psychologist who believes therapy is a paradox of acceptance and challenge. It is a puzzle to be solved with patients who have some psychic or social injury and are looking for someone to help them accept both who they are, and who they can be. Danu has a PhD (Clinical Psychology) and was a lecturer and a clinician in justice and hospital settings. Danu is also expert in psychological assessments.
Whether it's eating disorders, trauma, or just a quiet sense that there is something missing, we are all prone to burnout. Depth psychology is for people looking to get at the root of their problem.
Approach: Behind any diagnosis is a person with subjectivity, stories, dreams, and gifts. People are continually unfolding. I'm interested in understanding how each person’s genetic and spiritual mosaic has been disrupted. By attending to these faultlines, we can free you of the walls and allow you to reclaim your sense of self in the world.
