Adam Dalton
Clinical psychologist committed to helping LGBTQ+ adults navigate major life transitions, overcome relationship challenges, and break free from unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving.
About Me
My name is Adam and I use he/him pronouns. I'm a clinical psychologist and Level 2 Internal Family Systems trained therapist. I practice in Melbourne's Carlton North and I work with individuals who want to create more intentional and meaningful lives - whatever that may look like to them!
​​
My professional interests include:
-
LGBTQ+ mental health and supporting LGBTQ+ individuals navigate the unique experiences we can encounter.
-
Exploring the impact of sexual and relational satisfaction on mental health, offering a non-judgemental and sex-positive space to address sex and relationship difficulties.
-
Helping individuals break free from unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving, such as critical self-talk, perfectionism, procrastination, and people pleasing.
I have trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Schema Therapy, and now primarily work from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective.
​
I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and tailored to you. From our first session, we will work together to understand your unique experiences and explore how these evidence-based approaches can support your goals and wellbeing.
