Dr Brodie Dakin is a psychologist based in Bulimba, in Brisbane’s east. You’ll find the practice at Unit 5, 27 Godwin Street, Bulimba QLD 4171. Sessions are usually face to face, and the focus stays on making things feel workable and clear for you, not overwhelming or confusing.
Dr Dakin provides individual therapy, which suits people who want help sorting out what’s going on in their own head and day to day life. At times that can be about stress, mood changes, worry, or burnout. Other times it’s about patterns that keep showing up, even when you’ve tried to change them before.
There are also couples therapy sessions for people who are trying to reconnect, improve communication, and move past the same arguments or shut downs. Couples work can help when things feel stuck, or when one or both people aren’t sure how to talk about what they need without things getting tense.
Family therapy sessions are available too. This can be helpful when relationships in the household are strained, routines feel hard to keep, or family members are all carrying their own stress at the same time. In many cases, sessions focus on practical steps that fit into real family life, not just “ideas” that sound good on paper.
Dr Dakin also offers behavioural therapy sessions. That usually means looking at the links between thoughts, feelings, and what we do next, then working towards changes that last. Over time, many people find that small adjustments build confidence, reduce strain, and make day to day decisions feel less heavy.
In terms of experience, Dr Dakin’s work covers individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and behavioural therapy, so the approach can flex depending on what kind of support is needed. Training as a psychologist is the base of the work, with sessions planned around what you bring in—what’s happening now, and what you want to be different. If clinical trials or research are relevant to your situation, these aren’t usually the main part of the treatment, but care is kept grounded in everyday, practical support.
