Psychologist & Accredited EMDR Therapist
A safe, compassionate space to understand what is happening beneath the surface.
I support adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, dissociation and other challenges that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.
Using EMDR, parts-based therapy and other evidence-based approaches, we work together to understand your experiences and support meaningful change.
You may be finding that ...
-
You understand what happened, but still feel affected by it.
-
You keep reacting in ways that don't make sense to you.
-
You feel anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on alert.
-
You find yourself repeating patterns in relationships.
-
You feel disconnected from yourself or your emotions.
-
Part of you wants to move forward, while another part feels stuck.
-
Past experiences continue to affect how you feel in the present.
Meet Dana
Hi, I'm Dana.
I am a psychologist and accredited EMDR therapist with a particular interest in trauma and the ways our experiences can shape how we feel, relate to others and navigate everyday life.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself. My role is not to tell you who you should be or give you a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Together, we work to understand what you are experiencing and find an approach that fits you.
Safety
Therapy begins with creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
Collaborative
We will work together to understand what you are experiencing and what you would like to work on.
Individualised
There is not one approach that works for everyone. Your therapy will be tailored to your needs, goals and circumstances.
Trauma-informed
We will consider not only what you are experiencing now, but the experiences and patterns that may have shaped them.
Understanding the patterns beneath the surface.
Sometimes we know logically that we are safe, but our body and emotions continue to respond as though we are not.
Trauma and difficult experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and respond to situations in the present.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns and, where appropriate, work through the experiences that continue to influence them.
Dana draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems and other evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to your needs and goals.
