Bachelor of Psychological Science, Bachelor of Criminology, Graduate Diploma of Psychology Advanced
Hello, my name is Dilay (she/her). I am a psychologist who supports adults and older adolescents through periods of self-discovery, change, and personal growth.
The majority of my practice focuses on:
anxiety, mood, and emotion regulation
self-esteem, identity and self-understanding
trauma
adjustment, burnout and life transitions
My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and self-critical, but after working together, they typically experience greater self-compassion, confidence, and clarity in navigating their life.
About my work
I bring genuine compassion and a down-to-earth approach to create a space where people can bring their full selves, speak openly, safely, and without judgement. My approach is neuro-affirming, inclusive of all cultures, genders and orientations. I focus on helping individuals older than 16 better understand themselves, reconnect with what truly matters to them, and build the confidence to lead their life on their terms.
I have a passion for supporting individuals exploring Autism and ADHD, helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves from a lived-experience perspective. I also have a particular interest in supporting those navigating emotional overwhelm, anger, generational trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, grief, health anxiety, phobias, perfectionism, people-pleasing, purpose and direction, cultural identity, gender identity, relationship challenges, kink dynamics and alternative relationship styles.
