Davinder Gill
Davinder is a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience across government, academic and private settings. In her private practice, she focuses on supporting supporting clients who experience issues such as chronic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, postnatal depression/anxiety, grief and loss, attachment trauma and complex trauma.
Davinder works collaboratively with clients on exploring the areas in which they feel stuck – for example, feeling stuck in certain emotional states, in certain habits or patterns. She guides her clients in deconstructing how these processes are impacting them and supports them in resolving these outdated patterns. She empowers her clients to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, guiding them to tap into their innate inner resources to build resilience and capacity to face challenges.
Davinder is a Certified NARM therapist and primarily uses the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) with her clients to deepen their understanding and connection to themselves. This therapeutic approach creates a non-judgmental, safe and exploratory space to address and navigate challenges faced in the present that are being influenced by unresolved emotional pain from the past.
To support this work and in considering each client’s unique experiences and needs, Davinder also draws from other approaches, namely, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness & Compassion Focused Therapy.
Living and working in Singapore and Australia over the past 20 years, Davinder is now permanently settled in the Blue Mountains. Having lived and worked in multi-cultural communities, Davinder works in a culturally sensitive manner and can connect well with people from diverse backgrounds.
Davinder is a mum of two. In her spare time, she enjoys nature walks, playing her ukulele and movie nights with her family.
Appointments with Davinder are in Blaxland on Monday afternoons and Friday mornings.
