Blake Davis Psychologist (Registrar)

Blake is a clinical psychology registrar who works with children, adolescents, and adults. He holds a Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of Melbourne. In therapy, Blake’s focus is on treating you as a person, recognising your unique experiences and individuality, rather than a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. He aims to cultivate a secure and constructive therapeutic relationship where your concerns are actively listened to, deeply understood, and thoughtfully addressed. Blake has a strong interest in psychodynamic therapy , informed by his ongoing studies in Lacanian psychoanalysis. He combines this with psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. Blake’s aim is to draw on both psychological and psychoanalytic perspectives to help people work through practical challenges, as well as issues that seem to resurface despite efforts to change, by helping to illuminate and address the often unconscious patterns that shape people’s lives, choices, and relationships. Blake has experience working with clients of all ages, presenting with a range of concerns including anxiety, frustration with self and others, grief, excessive self-criticism, panic attacks, trauma, depression, and obsessions and compulsions. He also has a particular interest and experience in supporting individuals experiencing eating disorders, from both psychological and psychoanalytic perspectives. In addition, Blake is passionate about working with children and adolescents, individuals navigating transitions to parenthood, those facing difficulties with intimacy and sexuality, health-related challenges, and issues related to perfectionism and study-related stress.
