Hi, I’m Dr Natasha Davison, or Dr Nat as my clients often call me. I’m a registered clinical and health psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, stress, health concerns, and life changes. People often come to see me when something doesn’t feel quite right—when things feel harder than they used to, or things are not as manageable as they’d like.

HOW I APPROACH MY WORK
My approach is grounded, effective, and focused on what’s actually helpful for you.
I’m less interested in labels, and more interested in understanding:
-
what’s been happening for you
-
what’s contributing to the difficulties you’re experiencing
-
and what will genuinely help things feel more manageable for you
Together, we work through this in a way that feels clear, practical, and realistic.
EXPERIENCE & PERSPECTIVE
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of people and concerns in a variety of settings. This includes working in a number of public, community, and medical settings, as well as being in private practice for the past 12 years in the leafy suburb of Diamond Creek.
Alongside my professional and academic training and experience, I also bring a depth of life experience that helps me to better understand the realities that people are navigating—not just in theory, but in everyday life.
This allows me to offer support that is not only evidence-based, but that is relatable and grounded in real life experiences.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
When you work with me, you can expect:
-
A warm and supportive space to talk things through
-
Practical strategies that you can apply in your real life
-
A collaborative approach—we work together, not in a one-directional way
-
Honest and respectful guidance, always with your best interests in mind
There’s no expectation to have everything figured out. We can do that together.
We start wherever you’re at.
FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
Finding the right fit matters for both of us.
If I don’t feel I’m the best person to support you, I’ll let you know and help guide you towards someone more suitable.
And if it doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, that’s completely okay too

In 2020, I released my first book, Real Talk, Real Change - Life Strategies, From A Psychologist and Life Coach. Writing this book was important to me because it gave me an opportunity to share my psychology experience and expertise with a broader audience, which allows me to help more people. It was written for everyday people and has a conversational style, so no jargon - just the knowledge and tools that have helped me to help both myself and others in life. It is based on CBT and ACT, and while written conversationally is evidence based. The book was published by Dean Publishing and is available via Amazon, Book Depository, Angus and Robertson, Booktopia, Fishpond and right here, direct from me!
