Meet Damien Services What to Expect Fees & Rebates Book a session

How Therapy Works

The early sessions are focused on getting to know you: what has brought you here, what you've been experiencing, and what you'd like to be different. There is no expectation to have everything figured out beforehand. You share what feels relevant, while Damien builds a clear picture of what is getting in the way and what progress might look like.


From there, sessions follow a direction shaped together. Each appointment is 50 minutes, enough time to make sense of patterns, build practical skills, and develop strategies that hold beyond the therapy room. Between sessions, there are often small, real-world steps to try, keeping momentum going in everyday life. Progress is reviewed regularly so that sessions remain useful and on track.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

~ Viktor Frankl

Approaches

Therapy is most effective when it is tailored to the person. Damien draws on a range of evidence-based methods, selecting what is most relevant to your goals and circumstances.

CBT Icon

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful patterns in how you think, feel, and behave. It offers practical tools to break cycles that may be keeping you stuck.

ACT Icon

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, so they have less power over your actions. It focuses on building a life guided by what genuinely matters to you.

Motivational Interviewing Icon

Motivational Interviewing

MI helps you explore ambivalence and find your own reasons for change. It is particularly useful when part of you wants to move forward while another part feels uncertain or stuck.

Therapy Approach Icon

ADHD Affirming Integrative Therapy

AAIT helps you understand how ADHD shapes the way you think, feel, and function. It focuses on practical strategies that reduce friction in daily life and build on your strengths.
