Davinya Nair is a psychologist based in Belmont, Victoria. She works from Shop 1, 57 Thomson Street, Belmont VIC 3216, offering counselling sessions for people going through a rough patch.
Her work is focused on everyday, real-life problems. In many cases, that means supporting clients who are dealing with anxiety or depression. These can show up as racing thoughts, feeling low for long stretches, trouble sleeping, or feeling stressed even when nothing “big” is happening.
Davinya also helps with stress management. Life can get noisy and overwhelming. Work, family, health worries, and even small changes can pile up. Therapy can give people a calmer way to handle those moments, instead of just trying to push through.
You’ll often hear her talk about behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is about looking at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. The idea is not to “fix” people in one go, but to build practical skills that can make things feel more manageable.
At times, people come in wanting help with patterns they’ve had for a long time. Over time, therapy can help you notice what sets things off, and then try small changes that fit your life. That might include learning tools to calm your body, breaking down tasks when motivation drops, or working on more helpful ways of thinking when your brain goes into overdrive.
Davinya’s approach is grounded and hands-on. Sessions can cover day-to-day coping, along with strategies for dealing with difficult feelings. She aims to make the space feel safe and steady, so you can talk honestly and move forward at your own pace.
She holds the relevant psychology qualifications required to practise in Victoria. If you’re looking for support for anxiety, depression, or stress, counselling with a psychologist like Davinya can be a good first step. It’s also common for people to seek therapy when they’re not sure what’s going on, but they know they’re not coping as well as they used to.
For many clients, the biggest win is learning skills they can use between sessions. That way, progress doesn’t stop when the appointment ends. If you’d like help understanding what’s happening and finding ways to handle it, Davinya Nair is there to work with you.
