Dr Nathan Alkemade Psychologist

Currently I am interested in working with adults who experience difficulties managing stress and intense emotions. Along with adults suffering from depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders and trauma based psychiatric conditions. I have worked with forensic populations, people hospitalised with psychiatric disorders, individuals transitioning back into the community after hospitalisation, people struggling to find the work life balance, and adults who are looking for help to manage their distress in day-to-day living. I provide an evidence-based, person-centred compassionate approach to my clinical work. ​The primary goal of therapy is for me to help you develop skills to better manage intense emotions. By improving your skills to manage emotions you are better able to live the life you want. These skills are designed to not only help you know, but also leave you better equipped for life’s future challenges. To achieve this goal we will work as a team. I need to understand you as an individual to help you develop the best toolbox of skills that suit you. Often starting therapy is a difficult step to take, so therapy will only move at a pace with which you are comfortable.
