Dr Dan Costin
Clinical psychologist working with embodied healing through somatic psychotherapy
Welcome
Based in Melbourne/Naarm, I run a private practice in the vibrant arts precinct of Collingwood Yards providing mental health care for adults, with a focus on local creative, queer, and culturally diverse communities.
My services are guided by 20 years of clinical experience and draw from somatic and neuroscience-informed approaches to help you find solid ground, navigate challenge and change, grieve, or heal from unresolved experiences that are weighing on your relationships, wellbeing, or creative process.
I also offer supervision for mental health professionals trained in body psychotherapy or Deep Brain Reorienting, and am a member of the Bupa ADF Health Services Provider Network.

I acknowledge the traditional owners and sovereign custodians of unceded lands on which I live, work, and practice, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People. I recognise the importance of First Nations peoples’ ongoing cultural practices of caring for Country, and extend my respect to Traditional Owners, Elders, and Knowledge Holders of all Indigenous Nations and Clans.
