About Me
hello! i'm danielle
Danielle Paphitis | CCHt, ADip.Hyp.PsyT
Hey There! I'm Danielle, thanks for dropping in.
I’m passionate about helping people move through life’s emotional challenges with more ease and confidence. My approach to therapy is integrative, and eclectic to offer a personalized and compassionate healing experience.
My Approach
CBT and ACT are the foundation of my practice because they work wonders when it comes to shifting negative thought patterns and accepting difficult emotions without being consumed by them. But I like to dig deeper, especially when the body holds onto stress or trauma. This is where Polyvagal Therapy comes in—it helps you regulate your nervous system, so those automatic stress responses like anxiety or overwhelm become less overpowering.
Hypnotherapy is another tool I love using. It’s a gentle way to tap into the subconscious, where so many of our deeply held beliefs and habits live. Hypnosis can help you rewrite those unhelpful narratives and foster lasting change.
And then there’s NLP—Neuro-Linguistic Programming—which helps rewire the way you process thoughts and emotions by shifting your internal language and perspective. Whether it's for emotional regulation, overcoming limiting beliefs, or enhancing communication, NLP can be a powerful way to spark personal transformation.
So, why do I use such a variety of tools? Simply put, I believe that no two people are the same, and neither are their paths to healing. I’m here to help you find what works best for you.
Specialisation:
Anxiety: I’ve worked with many clients facing anxiety, helping them turn those overwhelming moments into something manageable, step by step. Together, we’ll find ways to calm that internal storm.
Depression: I guide individuals through the shadows of depression, offering practical strategies and hope, so they can regain their sense of well-being.
Trauma: Processing trauma can be heavy, but in a safe, compassionate environment, we work through the pain, creating space for healing and growth.
Anger & Self-Esteem: Whether it's mastering anger or building self-worth, I’m here to guide you through those personal hurdles.
Why Choose Me as Your Therapist?
At the core of my work is my deep commitment to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, I’m here to guide you on your path toward healing and self-empowerment.
If you're ready to explore what a compassionate and personalized therapy experience can do for you, I’d love to connect. I offer sessions in my cozy therapy room in Payneham, South Australia, or online via Zoom.
Let’s embark on your healing journey together.
