Elders (65+) Counselling in Melbourne, VIC

Hello, I'm Diane. I've been helping people with their mental health issues for over 18 years. I can treat depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationships, as well as stress, life transitions, and traumatic events. I use a compassionate, safe, and practical approach. My additional qualifications in art therapy when combined with mindfulness, has helped many people from very different backgrounds.

I welcome adults, couples, young people, LGBTQIA, veterans, and seniors ( I currently have no waiting list ).

Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

I am a registered psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist who has a special interest in Self Psychology.

I work with people from diverse backgrounds who are learning how to live and thrive with a variety of issues, changes, and challenges in their lives.

I utilize talk and creative expression, as a way to assist in areas such as setting goals, gaining a deeper understanding of self, moving through and healing trauma, and much more.

Hi, my name's David. I qualified in the UK as a counselling psychologist (and I'm currently undergoing an Ahpra transitional programme as a provisional psychologist to register here in Australia). Whether you have something you wish to focus on or are struggling but unsure of the reason, we can work together to explore how to support your well-being and life satisfaction. I seek to work with each individual client, finding the right approach for each person, rather than fitting people into a predesignated box or approach.
