I am a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist with experience supporting individuals across the lifespan who present with a wide range of psychological and cognitive health concerns.

I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment difficulties, and other complex mental health presentations across both the public and private health setting. I have advanced skills in neuropsychological assessment, with my specific areas of interest including decision making capacity, the diagnosis of neurodegenerative conditions and providing supportive functional interventions for those experiencing cognitive challenge.

I have a warm, down-to-earth therapeutic approach. I value building strong therapeutic relationships, and I take the time to understand each person’s unique story. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to the individual, drawing on evidence-based therapies to support meaningful and lasting change.

I have a strong interest in working with older adults to support the unique challenges that can arise with ageing, health changes, and life transitions. I believe in working closely with clients, families, and other healthcare providers to ensure holistic and practical support.

My areas of interest include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Life transition / adjustment
  • Grief and loss
  • Stress management
  • Cognitive change associated with aging
  • Functional cognitive rehabilitation support strategies

In addition to my clinical work, I hold a Diploma of Professional and Leadership Coaching and integrate coaching principles to help clients build clarity, resilience, and direction in their lives.

In my spare time, I love being outdoors in nature, but I can also appreciate the peace and comfort that comes with reading good book and enjoying a cuppa. If you are interested in pursuing support, I would welcome you to book an initial consultation.

Kelly Densham

BPsych (Hons), MPsych (Education and Developmental), MAPS

Please note: Kelly is available for psycho-educational assessments for ages 6-16. Kelly runs her assessment clinic on Mondays. 

We appreciate that online booking is convenient; however, psychological assessments require careful pre-planning to ensure the most appropriate tools and appointment structure are used for each client. All new clients seeking a psychological assessment must contact the clinic on 07 3076 2238 prior to booking.

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. I have a particular interest in the assessment of twice-exceptional (2e) individuals—those who demonstrate both exceptional abilities and coexisting challenges.

I provide 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 complimentary 15-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.

Please note: Online booking available only for existing clients. For new client bookings, please phone 07 3076 2238

Age Range:

Dayna Donsky

PsychSc (Hons), MPsychClin, MAPS

Please note: Online booking available only for existing clients. For new client bookings, please phone 07 3076 2238

I’m a clinical psychologist who works with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as a range of other challenges such as trauma, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, adjustment/life transitions, addiction, chronic stress and burnout, grief and loss, and questions around identity and self-worth. Many of the people I see feel stuck in some way. They are often facing difficult decisions, feeling unsure or ambivalent about something, or sensing that they want more from life but aren’t quite sure how to move towards it.   

My work is grounded in attachment theory and relational approaches. I hold a Master of Clinical Psychology, as well as degrees in Psychological Science (Honours) and Human Resource Management. Over the past decade, I have worked across private practice, inpatient, and educational settings, developing a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach to therapy, mostly drawing on psychodynamic concepts. These experiences have strengthened my faith in the process of therapy and the value of a thoughtful, rock-solid therapeutic relationship, which creates lasting change.  

I work from the understanding that therapy should be a collaborative space where we can explore and make sense of the factors contributing to your current concerns. My approach in the room is flexible and responsive. I bring curiosity, warmth, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. I prioritise understanding you as a person rather than pathologising and I am more interested in what may be beneath your symptoms. I often explore early relational templates that have shaped the way you are responding, thinking and feeling in the now and consider the possibility of old, familiar patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Over time, this approach is transformative and powerful – giving you the ability to make deliberate choices and to feel more balanced, coherent, and capable.  

I also offer short-term, symptom reduction treatment for those who feel they need immediate support. Problem-solving and skills-based work can often complement the longer-term, attachment-based approach or can be offered exclusively for those who are looking for ways to restore emotional balance. 

If you are interested in pursuing this type of work, please feel free to book an initial consultation to discuss further.
