About our Psychologists
Dayna Donsky
- Clinical Psychologist
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist working with individual adults and adolescents with varying mental health concerns. My work is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory. This work is suitable for those looking for a greater understanding of themselves and their emotionality, patterns, inner conflicts and processes. I tend to see individuals who may not be able to articulate their direct concerns or complaints driving them to therapy, but who are instinctively hopeful for more and see the potential to live differently. Others may have specific concerns that they feel need addressing such as:
- Generalised anxiety
- Depression or depressive tendencies
- Self-esteem issues
- Ungrieved losses
- Interpersonal issues or concerns
- Workplace stress & burnout
- Trauma
- Perfectionism and achievement-oriented pressure
My clinical position is one of a collaborative, non-directive manner, whereby I invite you to make meaning of your experience and explore the space to which you think, feel and live. I encourage you to say everything, to feel your feelings, to share your collection of thoughts, to talk about your version of history, to be honest with yourself, to explore your visions and ideas, and to figure yourself out. When these inner thoughts and feelings are expressed outwardly, this spontaneously frees up space for you to start to explore the psychological processes you have engaged throughout life to protect yourself in relationships with others and in your relationship with yourself. Insight and acceptance of these processes generally gives people a sense of agency and over time, contributes to a more lively and joyous emotional life.
If you are interested in pursuing this type of work, please feel free to book an initial consultation to discuss further.

Kelly Densham
- Educational and Developmental Psychologist
Please note: Kelly is available for psycho-educational assessments for ages 6-16
Kelly (she/her)
I am an Educational and Developmental Psychologist with a background in private practice, education, and outpatient mental health settings. I typically work with adolescents and young adults up to age 35. I often work systemically, if appropriate, by inviting their caregiver, family or school system into the therapy process.
My therapeutic approach:
In therapy, I seek to form the kind of relationship where we feel, see and understand what brings you to therapy as the things that make you human. Our work together is about feeling and thinking, making it difficult to tangibly measure.
I believe that organising the unspeakable, hidden-away parts of us into a cohesive, speakable picture is the catalyst to creating a personally meaningful life. I wish for all my patients to feel and know my belief in their intrinsic gifts and share in my experience of seeing them as whole, solid and capable.
My therapeutic approach is primarily influenced by attachment theory, and I invite emotions with historic, relational roots that have likely been with you for some time. It is typically a longer-term treatment but may also be helpful for those seeking short-term support. I generally see patients on a fortnightly basis though it is not uncommon to meet weekly if practical and feasible.
About you:
My patients are often those who experience themselves as different, flawed, defective or trapped by their own mind or habits. They might experience others and the world as fearsome, despite being aware of their intense longing to belong. They often feel anxious starting therapy and experience discomfort taking up space in the mind of someone else, commonly for the first time.
Patients of mine often experience:
- Low self-esteem
- Low or mixed moods
- General or specific anxiety
- Trauma including complex post-traumatic stress disorder
- Challenging or complex early life experiences
- Difficulty making sense of their child’s needs and behaviour
- Neurodiversity including girls and women with autism or ADHD.
Assessment
I offer comprehensive psychological assessments to diagnose learning disabilities, attention disorders, intellectual disabilities, and autism in verbal individuals. Kelly has a particular interest in the assessment of twice-exceptional (2e) individuals—those who demonstrate both exceptional abilities and coexisting challenges.
Kelly provides assessment, diagnosis, and tailored educational support planning for:
- Specific Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)
- Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (for verbal individuals)
Kelly offers a complimentary15-minute phone consultation to discuss concerns and determine assessment suitability and options before progressing with the assessment process.
Supervision
I provide supervision to psychologists and counsellors. I can provide secondary supervision to psychologists completing the educational and developmental registrar program.
