Hi, I’m Danae Goldsmith, a Registered Generalist Psychologist based at Melbourne CBD Psychology in the beautiful Exchange Tower. My path into psychology started in the world of high-performance gymnastics coaching — helping people achieve their best both in sport and in life has always been my passion. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation: warm, open, and collaborative. My role is to create a safe space where you can share what’s on your mind, explore new perspectives, and build the tools you need to move forward. I hold a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology and a Masters of Applied Psychology (Sport Psychology) from Victoria University. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life — in private practice, telehealth, residential detox, supported accommodation, forensic intellectual disability services, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). I help clients with a wide range of concerns, including: - Feeling low, stressed, or anxious - Trauma and recovery - Relationship and communication challenges - Addiction and recovery support - Emotional regulation and resilience - Performance and motivation in sport, work, or study Every person is different, so I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches — like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and strengths-based strategies — to match your needs and preferences. Whether you’re going through a tough time, looking to break old patterns, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and fulfilled, I’m here to support you with clarity, compassion, and practical tools you can use right away.
