About me
If you feel stuck in habits or behaviours that no longer serve you, whether that’s anxiety, porn use, alcohol, gambling, or constant scrolling, you’re not alone. These patterns often develop as ways of coping with stress, discomfort, or disconnection. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving them and build practical skills to regain control and move toward the life you want.
I’m Daniel, a psychologist at Brightwell Psychology. I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain due to addictive behaviors, anxiety, stress, or major life transitions. Many clients come to me struggling with pornography, gambling, substance use, or compulsive technology habits that interfere with their relationships, work, or sense of self.
Together, we focus on practical strategies and psychological tools that reduce distress, restore control, and build a life aligned with your values. My approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Schema Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you:
Understand and shift addictive or compulsive patterns.
Reduce anxiety, stress, and self-criticism.
Navigate challenging life transitions with clarity and confidence.
Make choices aligned with your personal values and goals.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment. Whether via Telehealth or in-person sessions, I tailor therapy to your needs, helping you move from short-term coping to lasting, values-driven change.
My practice is a fully online practice, providing flexibility to access therapy from anywhere in Australia, whether from home, work, or while travelling. Online care allows you to fit sessions into your life with greater ease, removing the barriers of travel time, waiting rooms, and scheduling pressure. It means you can choose support in a private, comfortable environment at a pace that works for you.
If you’re ready to begin or simply curious about how therapy might help, I’m here to support you in moving toward a more meaningful, steady, and fulfilling life aligned with what truly matters.
