Dayna Jaekel
Psychologist (pending AHPRA registration)
Master of Clinical Psychology, (final stages of training), Bond University
I feel immensely privileged to work as a therapist and to be entrusted with people’s stories. I strive to honour this by approaching each person with curiosity, respect, and openness.
My therapeutic style is rooted in compassion, and I aim to maintain a flexible, client-centred, and non-judgemental approach, creating space to understand each individual’s unique experiences, values, and goals.
I am passionate about helping people recognise the strength they already have within them, and supporting them in achieving meaningful change through tailored, evidence-based therapies.
