Sometimes life doesn't always go as planned. Even when you are doing your best in a difficult situation you can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, tired and fed up from your battle. Maybe you or a loved one has a diagnosis of a mental health condition and you don't know how to help yourself or your loved ones. I may be able to help you overcome your obstacles and problems with evidence based therapies that are tailored to your particular problems and circumstances. Sometimes just talking to someone about your problems and feelings is all you need. I can help with that too.

I'm Dom Caesar (they/them), an autistic and queer social worker. I work with people aged 16 and up, and especially welcome those who identify as neurodivergent, queer, or trans, or who have felt misunderstood or unsupported in more traditional therapy settings.
Some themes and issues I love exploring with people include burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the toll of masking; identity (including neurodivergence, gender, sexuality, etc) and how these intersect; learning to communicate your needs and to advocate; navigating systems (workplaces, schools, families and everything in between!); and whatever feels most meaningful to you.

My clients often feel too complex for mainstream services. They may be living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence; be LGBTQIA+; be older adults navigating major transitions; or parents carrying their own health challenges. What they share is a readiness for support that sees the whole person — not just a diagnosis — and moves at their pace.

I approach therapy as a relationship first, and I'm not afraid to be ‘in it’ alongside you - whatever that looks like for you. I've worked in counselling and peer support with LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergent adults of all ages (18-65+), and I'm especially passionate about supporting trans and gender diverse people navigating grief and loss, suicidality, trauma, disability and chronic illness, and autism and other experiences of neurodivergence.

I support adults, older adults and teenagers experiencing grief, loss, bereavement, trauma, migration, and major life transitions. Many come after the death of a loved one. Others grieve something less visible but just as real: a relationship, a sense of home, an identity, or a version of themselves that feels lost. Some live with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, existential questions about life meaning and mortality. I work with neurodivergent individuals in an affirming way. I also work with French-speaking clients and people navigating relocation across all states and territories in Australia.

As a fellow human, I deeply understand that pain and suffering, although normal, can be exquisitely hard. I provide a safe space for you to explore the struggles in your life and how your backstory affects you today. Together we can discover and establish the story you want to lead going forward; one in which you can be at rest and flourish.

The couples that I work with initially describe themselves as feeling "stuck." This might be patterns of behaviours or relationships, feeling weighed down or overwhelmed by trauma, self-doubt, or disconnection from their emotions and body. Sometimes it is navigating the complexities of relationship challenges or neurodivergence. Most of the time what they truly want is to feel lighter, calmer, safer and more in control of their lives. Therapy offers a space to explore these needs and to move toward the life they imagine for themselves.

Nobody comes to see a psychotherapist (and pays the therapist good money) unless they want something to change in their lives. My job is to help clients to identify what's in need of changing, and working with them to find the best way to make the changes.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
