Meet the team

I'm David Buteri, the Director and a General Psychologist. My approach to therapy is built on a foundation of collaboration and trust, aiming to foster self-awareness through a supportive yet challenging approach. I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents, integrating other evidence-based methods to cater to a broad range of issues from emotional regulation to communication skills. For adults, my focus shifts to Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), targeting deep-seated emotional issues to facilitate profound and lasting change. This method complements my belief that while practical skills are widely accessible online, the true value of therapy lies in personally understanding and addressing the core challenges one faces.

Throughout my practice, I have worked extensively with neurodiverse clients, including those diagnosed with ASD and ADHD, helping them navigate complex emotional landscapes and improve their quality of life.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychological Science from Griffith University in 2018, followed by a Graduate Diploma in Psychological Science at Bond University in 2019. My career began in a correctional facility, gaining invaluable experience before transitioning to private practice where I have been for the last three years.

As a full member of the Australian Psychological Society, I am committed to providing high-quality psychological services that respect and respond to each individual's unique needs.
