Welcome, I’m Dan…
Melbourne-based clinical psychologist with an interest in embodied approaches to trauma healing and mental health care.
Services
I run a private practice in the vibrant arts precinct of Collingwood Yards, providing mental health care for local creative and LGBTIQA+ communities.
I also offer a range of Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) services, including: focused courses of trauma psychotherapy for adults, professional development consultations for DBR-trained therapists, and a dedicated DBR clinic for health practitioners and members of the Australian Defence Force.
My services are grounded in over 15 years of clinical experience and emphasise somatic and neuroscientifically guided practices that support the embodiment of our natural healing processes.

A core focus of my work at Collingwood Yards is supporting the mental health and wellbeing of emerging artists, drawing on my experience counselling students at the Victorian College of the Arts and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.

I’m a proud supporter of the LGBTIQA+ community and offer peer counselling and mental health care that is affirming of people’s diverse genders, sexualities, neurotypes, and relationships.

I have substantial experience working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and am committed to ongoing learning in culturally safe and responsive practice.
