I believe that every person is worth being seen, heard, and known, even in all of our baggage. In our most vulnerable moments, having a safe and non-judgmental place to not only talk about our issues, but to tune into and experience them, is really important. I am interested in getting to understand not only your story, but how that story impacts your life in the here and now. I enjoy journeying alongside people from difference cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, and in experiences such as anxiety or depression, life transition, stress, struggles with boundaries, burnout, trauma, and spiritual and religious issues.

Hi, I'm Danni (she/her). I am a Melbourne / Naarm based psychologist & registered play therapist. I specialise in child therapy, using play to nurture a child’s sense of self. My practice is client-led and trauma-informed, with a focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. This allows me to focus on the child as a whole, rather than just their struggles. This gentle and strengths-based approach facilitates healing and growth. I have worked in schools and private and public care settings, with extensive experience in a large paediatric working with children who have experienced significant trauma.

I work as a clinical psychologist and practice upon a foundation of empathy and authenticity. To embrace vulnerability is terrifying, so I prioritise creating a supportive safe space with my clients to move towards recovery goals. I am passionate about shifting the ‘hush-hush’ discourse around vulnerabilities with mental health, and empowering individuals to embrace the human nature to experience difficulties.

I work with mums of babies or young children who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or overwhelm. They just want to be good parents, and worry they are failing. They are emotionally tuned to their children’s needs but want to do even better. Often, they feel guilty that they don’t enjoy parenting all the time, or that they lose their temper with their little ones.
