About me

Hi, I’m Dom — a Psychologist with experience working across university, private practice, and community mental health settings. I’ve supported both adolescents and adults in navigating complex mental health challenges, and I’ve also been involved in research teams across several universities. My PhD focused on adolescent mental health stigma, which continues to inform my understanding and clinical practice today. In my work, I draw on a range of evidence-based treatment approaches and tailor them to best support each individual I work with.

How I will help you

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I value creating an open, reflective space where you feel safe and supported as we explore your experiences together. I work with curiosity to understand the patterns underlying your difficulties and to help you move toward meaningful change. For me, therapy is not only about reducing symptoms but also about helping you live in alignment with your values and what truly matters to you.

When I’m not working

I love eating delicious food—especially gorgonzola gnocchi! You’ll often find me curled up on the couch with a good book or show. I also enjoy connecting with loved ones, whether that’s over a meal, a bushwalk, or a board game.

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Our client care team will support you through every step of getting started. They’ll take the time to understand your needs and preferences, then thoughtfully match you with a psychologist whose approach and availability align with what you’re looking for.

When matching you with a Psychologist, we consider:
- The reason you’re seeking therapy
- Your availability and preferred session times
- Whether you’d like to attend in person or online
- The therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs
- Any other preferences you share with us
We understand that finding the right fit is important. Building a strong relationship with your psychologist can take time, but if at any point you feel the connection isn’t quite right, we’ll support you in transferring to someone new. Your well-being is always our priority.
Our experienced team of Psychologists offers warm, evidence-based support that’s collaborative, inclusive and grounded in genuine understanding. We provide individual, relationship or family therapy for a wide range of concerns. Additionally, we offer couples therapy, online therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Assessments), and workshops.
If you have extras cover, private health insurance may provide rebates. Check your individual policy for coverage and claiming options.
