More about Damian
- 6 years' experience
- Male
- ACA
I am a licensed counselling professional credentialed in Australia through the Australian College of Applied Psychology with six years of professional work experience as a counsellor. Along with considerable life experience, I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
My preferred modality for therapy is person-centred, which is also known as a humanistic approach. It is based on the belief that individuals have the capacity for self-awareness, personal growth, and the ability to make positive changes in their lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
