Carlton Psychologist Helping People to Heal and Grow
I’m Dr Damon Mitchell, a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people navigate emotional challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggles with self-worth, I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, emotionally connected, and empowered to make lasting shifts in your life.
Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about understanding what matters, exploring stuck patterns, and moving toward your potential. Importantly, I work collaboratively with clients to engage emotional experience in a way that feels safe, affirming, and effective. With a warm, down-to-earth style and a focus on practical, evidence-based care, I support adults and young people across Melbourne.
As a Carlton psychologist, my approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for growth. With many years of experience, I’ve seen how therapy can help people break free from negative cycles, reconnect with their values, and create more fulfilling, purposeful lives. At Core Life Psychology, you’ll find a calm, supportive environment where we can work together toward clarity, change, and emotional wellbeing.

My Approach To Individual Therapy in Carlton
In each session, I provide a grounded and engaged therapeutic space. Together, we’ll:
-
Explore what’s happening emotionally
-
Identify underlying patterns and unmet needs
-
Move toward clarity, insight, and meaningful change
My work is grounded in models such as Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Schema Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. These frameworks allow us to target change on both emotional and behavioural levels.
About Dr Damon Mitchell: Core Life Psychology Founder
Psychology has been a lifelong path for me—what began as a deep curiosity in human potential and healing has become a fulfilling professional journey. After completing a PhD in psychology and a postgraduate diploma in clinical psychology, I trained in various therapeutic models with a strong focus on emotional transformation and attachment.
One of the approaches I’m most passionate about is AEDP, a dynamic, relational model that helps people break through emotional blocks and rediscover inner vitality. I’ve undertaken advanced AEDP training with leaders in New York, and I continue to integrate this model into my work with individuals seeking deeper change.
I’m a registered clinical psychologist with AHPRA, a member of the Australian Psychological Society, and eligible to provide services through Medicare. At Core Life Psychology, I bring together research, clinical skill, and genuine care to help people create lasting change. I’ve built this practice as a space where people feel safe, seen, and empowered.
