Daniel Hayne | Clinical Psychologist
Hi, I’m Daniel. I’m a Clinical Psychologist, father, stepfather, and partner. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy playing music, reading great books, and spending time with my friends and family.
As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their story, including important life experiences and turning points that may have contributed to their current difficulties. I take a transdiagnostic approach, focusing less on diagnostic labels and more on the patterns that keep problems going. These patterns can include unhelpful habits, entrenched ways of thinking, emotional and relational dynamics, and ongoing life stressors. Often it is these patterns, rather than the symptoms themselves, that cause problems. By identifying and addressing them, we can work together to build new ways of responding that fit better with your values and goals.
My practice is grounded in Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also incorporate strategies from Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, as well as other third-wave CBT models such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and the transdiagnostic Unified Protocol. I place a high value on professional development and evidence-based practice, so my work is also informed by recent advancements in cognitive, behavioural, and personality science.
I work with people aged 15 and above, and offer support for a variety of mental health presentations, including:
· Anxiety
· Depression
· Stress and anger
· Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
· Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
· Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
· Family and relationship difficulties
· Body image concerns
· Men’s mental health concerns
· Philosophical and spiritual dilemmas
· Difficult life transitions (e.g., leaving school, entering or leaving the workforce, parenthood, etc.)
· And more… if you are unsure, please call us to discuss further.
In addition to clinical work, I am an AHPRA board-approved supervisor. I offer individual supervision for provisional and registered psychologists, including those seeking clinical endorsement, as well as other mental health professionals seeking support with the presentations and therapeutic modalities outlined above.
I look forward to working with you.
*Daniel is available for online consultations on Tuesdays and in-clinic and online consultations on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can book online below or contact us via phone or email.
Jo Buzza | Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
Hello, I'm Jo. I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a Masters of Counselling (Advanced Practice). My experience spans various settings including community, government, and education. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my career to mental health, working directly with clients and serving as the Clinical Manager of a community mental health service. Over the years, I have supported families, parents, carers, adolescents, individuals, and couples. I enjoy collaborating with people from all walks of life, tailoring my approach to meet each person’s unique needs.
In the therapy space, I prioritise a collaborative relationship, where you are the expert in your own life. My role is to guide and support you, utilising my knowledge and skills as an accredited mental health social worker to help you achieve your goals.
I work with individuals aged 15 and over, regardless of gender, addressing general mental health and wellbeing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and body image, trauma, relationship challenges and life transitions. I have a particular interest in women’s mental health, providing support during the pre- and post-natal periods, helping women transition into motherhood, and offering guidance through separation or divorce. Additionally, I assist women experiencing perimenopause or those looking to enhance their self-esteem and confidence. My aim is to create a safe and supportive space for women to explore and strengthen their mental wellbeing at every stage of life.
I also offer couples counselling to support relationships at any stage, as well as professional supervision to social workers, counsellors and other mental health professionals.
The therapy approaches I utilise include:
· Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

· Motivational Interviewing (MI)
· Skills training
· Mindfulness
· Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals

Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a mother, partner, and friend. I cherish spending time with my kids and family, enjoying the outdoors, listening to music, and dancing.
I look forward to meeting you and working together.
