Damian is a registered psychologist with experience working with people across the lifespan. He is passionate about helping people overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, medically unexplained symptoms, and emotional distress. Damian is also experienced with and is passionate about supporting the LGBTIQAP+ community with their mental health and wellbeing. Damian primarily practices using Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is an evidence-based therapy which focuses on helping people connect with and experience feelings which have been suppressed or blocked because they are too frightening or painful. ISTDP focuses on helping us access and resolve these emotions so we can feel empowered, and no longer experience the anxiety and mechanisms that cause our distress. Damian also utilises cognitive behavioural and schema therapies. When working with children, Damian draws from attachment and cognitive behavioural therapies. Damian strives to provide a collaborative, warm, safe, and respectful space to help people develop, better understand themselves, and improve their wellbeing.
