I enjoy the assessment and therapeutic approach for complex clients presenting with dual diagnoses of mental health issues and developmental challenges and assisting them to navigate social environments and community amenities. Such clients often present with Social Anxiety, Depression, and trauma-related issues and goals often entail improved confidence in interpersonal and social settings as well as improving anxiety, and building resilience for trauma-related issues. Such clients want to improve their daily functioning in order to cope with life's challenges and manage daily stressors as well as learn new skills to adapt.

When stress, anxiety, or past trauma begin to take over, it can feel exhausting and confusing — like your mind won’t slow down, your body won’t relax, and you’ve somehow lost touch with yourself. Many people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, even when they’re doing their best to cope. I offer a gentle, grounded approach to counselling that helps you feel safe in your body again, calms your nervous system, & helps you reconnect with yourself. My work integrates a mindfulness & somatic (body awareness) based approach that recognises stress & trauma are held in the body, heart, & mind.

Do you often feel different from others, even if you can’t quite explain how? Do social situations feel confusing, draining, or unpredictable? Do you find comfort in routines, or become frustrated when things don’t go as planned? Perhaps you’ve always had strong interests or unique ways of thinking that others haven’t understood. Maybe you learned to “mask” these traits to fit in - but it’s left you feeling exhausted or unseen. Have you wondered whether you might be on the Autism Spectrum? Dan might be able to help.

www.objectivepsychology.com.au - I consider my approach to my clients as warm, understanding, compassionate, and client-centred. I try to focus on empowering the individual and providing tools to help improve resilience and overall emotional, mental, and physical well-being. I also try to bring in an element of humour and wit, often with a different perspective than many would expect in a traditional therapy session. I use an evidence based, scientific approach to help my clients first to understand what they are dealing with, and then to try and improve their lives in the most efficacious way.

Maybe you're coping on the outside, but on the inside, you feel tense, on edge, anxious, overwhelmed or just not quite able to settle. Many people I work with are fully functioning and managing life day-to-day, though they feel exhausted and burnt out by what they’re holding onto internally. Often, this is shaped by past experiences that still influence how their mind and body respond. Their responses feel more reactive then considered... I help you to identify and make sense of these feelings and patterns and assist you to gently shift them, so you can feel steadier, more connected, in control and at ease in your day-to-day life.

As C.S. Lewis once wrote: “Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” Holding on to the past can keep individuals from healing and moving forward. I support clients in finding the courage to let go and move through their healing journey. I offer a safe, respectful space to explore their experiences, reconnect with values, and move toward meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, integrative, and trauma-informed, with openness to incorporating Christian faith or personal beliefs when meaningful to the individual.

Anxiety, Panic, Stress, Trauma, PTSD, and OCD are my areas of focus. I also have significant experience in working with ADHD/Autism. If you are looking for a psychologist who deeply understands these experiences, who provides a tailored approach, and can balance empathy with directness, we will be a great fit. Our work together will focus on resolving root causes rather than just applying temporary fixes. This may involve addressing past hurts, problem solving current barriers, or building new skills for the future. I work with both children aged 8+ and adults.

I support women aged 15+ navigating anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and major life transitions such as relocation or immigration. I also walk alongside ministry leaders, including pastors and chaplains, who may be carrying the weight of leadership while quietly feeling weary or in need of support. Many clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, and seek a safe space to process what they’re going through and find clarity and hope.
