North West Psychotherapy

I’m David Temme, a psychotherapist and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker offering longer-term psychotherapy for adults in Melbourne experiencing complex trauma and persistent emotional and relational difficulties.

Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck — often despite insight, effort, or previous therapy.

The work focuses on understanding how emotional and relational experiences continue to shape daily life, and how these patterns can be worked with over time within a consistent therapeutic relationship.

My approach is relational and trauma-informed, informed by Schema Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic practice. Therapy is collaborative and paced according to what feels manageable, with attention to how patterns appear both in daily life and within therapy.

If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial appointment.
