Dillon Fourie
Bachelor of Psychology and Philosophy, Honours (Psychology), Master of Professional Psychology, Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling
Hello, my name is Dillon. I am a Psychologist and I help people to understand and change negative patterns in thinking and behaviour, to accept their emotions and to overcome trauma.
The majority of my practice focuses on:
trauma and addiction
anxiety and mood disorders
ADHD
relationship issues
My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, but after working together, they typically feel self aware, self sufficient and capable of change.
About Me
I've studied Psychology for 8 years, and worked treating clients for about 6 years in prisons, rehabilitation centres, suicide prevention services, and private practice. I'm deeply passionate about working with trauma and addiction. I also love to work with neurodivergence and with anxiety disorders. Outside of my work, I like to make music, do combat sports and paint.
My therapy is mostly Schema-informed, focusing on understanding underlying thinking and behavioural patterns, and how these relate to one's emotions. I am also informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which provide tangible strategies to regulate the way my clients think and feel. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and offer it for trauma reprocessing where appropriate. The core of my practice is centred on treating the underlying causes of a client's ongoing mental health symptoms, in order to establish change and agency.
