About me

My practice
Danae is a PACFA registered Clinical Counsellor and Supervisor who brings over 10 years of specialized experience in trauma work with children, young people, and families. Her passion lies in guiding individuals and families through healing from trauma, understanding behavioural patterns, and developing the emotional regulation skills that transform relationships and rebuild self-confidence.

With qualifications in Community & Human Services, Developmental Trauma, and Forensic Behavioural Science, plus her role as a Senior Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, Danae offers a uniquely comprehensive approach to healing. She's accredited in EMDR (and EMDRAA registered), which she seamlessly integrates with her responsive, individualized therapeutic style.

Danae works with clients across the entire lifespan—from very early childhood all the way through to older adults—specializing in PTSD, CPTSD, childhood trauma, critical incidents (including sexual assault), addiction, eating disorders, and behavioural challenges. She's particularly skilled in addressing concerning or harmful sexualized behaviours, sexual health education, psychotic and dissociative disorders, negative core beliefs, and problematic relationship patterns. She can also provide Psychedelic Assisted Therapy alongside a Psychiatric colleague. Her practice is proudly neurodiverse and LGBTIQ+ friendly.

What makes Danae special? Her clients often describe her as engaging, authentic, and "a bit of a mind reader"—someone who truly gets it. Many tell us that after seeing numerous mental health professionals, they finally feel safe and understood with Danae. They leave each session feeling lighter, with reduced symptoms and practical strategies they can actually use.

Danae has a gift for holding complex cases and connecting with clients who have struggled to engage in therapy before. Her enthusiastic, genuine approach creates the safety needed for real healing to begin.
