Depression
Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Depression can feel heavy, quiet, and isolating, particularly for people who continue to function outwardly while struggling underneath. I work with low mood, emotional flatness, and loss of meaning, often shaped by grief, trauma, or burnout in caring roles. The work doesn't assume the answer is more discipline. It moves slowly and looks at what is being asked of you, what has been carried, and what might be possible to put down.

Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy will place a strong emphasis on creating an empathetic space for clients to process and effectively manage depressive symptoms. The non-judgmental environment is designed to enable clients to safely explore and delve into the complexities of their depression. By applying evidence-based practices (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients acquire the necessary skills for effectively managing their depressive symptoms. Whether the focus is on major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, or other related depressive conditions, the approaches can assist clients in alleviating the emotional burden of depression and progressing towards an improved quality of life.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.
Dimitri's experience extends to conducting psychological assessments and offering counselling support to Victims of Crime through (VOCAT), clients associated with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Workcover clients, and those covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has previously provided psychological support within prison settings.
10 Years Experience
Online in Perth, WA Western Australia
Perth is one of the most geographically isolated major cities in the world, and this remoteness contributes to distinct mental health challenges — including elevated rates of depression and difficulty accessing specialist care readily available elsewhere in Australia. The city's economy has historically been tied to mining, and therapists regularly work with the psychological effects of fly-in-fly-out work arrangements, including relationship strain, parental absence, and the boom-bust cycle's impact on employment stability and identity. Fiona Stanley Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a substantial private practice community serving Subiaco, Fremantle, and the inner suburbs. Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plans provide partial subsidies for eligible residents, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across Western Australia's enormous geography.
