With the right support, people can overcome extraordinary difficulties.
I’m here to help
My name is Damien Trinne, and I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). My commitment is to provide a safe, confidential, and empathetic space where you can explore your challenges and find a path forward.
My background includes extensive experience as a full-time Counsellor at Beyond Blue, a prominent Australian mental health organisation. In this role, I provided single-session, crisis-based counselling, managed escalations, and received consistent clinical supervision. With over 1000 client interactions, I developed a strong ability to offer immediate and effective support for acute distress, including suicidal ideation, self-harm, and alcoholism. My expertise encompasses all facets of counselling and navigating complex service systems to ensure you receive comprehensive care.
It’s not just about coping
At Northern Counselling Practice, I believe every life holds inherent worth and value. People are incredibly resilient when given the right help and support. It's not just about 'coping' with life's challenges, though coping is vital. It's also about moving past 'stuck' points to achieve a new level of emotional well-being. When this happens, you get to envision a different, more positive future for yourself.
All my services are telehealth exclusively, providing convenient and accessible support. All consultations are confidential within Australia's legal and ethical boundaries.

I use Zanda, an all-in-one Australian cloud-based software, for all my counselling needs, including bookings, payments, telehealth, and secure note-taking. When making a booking you will be taken to the Zanda website to register your details, choose your time and session preference.
