Oludamilola "Dami" Oladele , AHPRA

Oludamilola "Dami" Oladele is a Nigerian-born therapist practicing in Australia who is registered with AHPRA, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. He has three years of professional experience and is developing an independent practice while building on clinical supervision received from other clinicians. He works with a range of concerns including addictions, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, motivation, and the challenges that come with major life changes.

His approach centers on creating a non-judgmental, accepting space where clients can speak openly and be heard. He draws on evidence-based methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor support to each person’s needs. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is a core priority, and he matches techniques to the goals that matter most to each client.

In sessions he collaborates with clients to explore thoughts and emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen confidence to manage everyday difficulties. He also offers therapy in English and Yoruba. He is not currently accepting clients while he continues to develop his independent practice.

Therapeutic approaches for online practice

Oludamilola "Dami" Oladele integrates several well-established therapies into his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with mood disorders, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and confidence, making it helpful for motivation and major life transitions.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a single method universally.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, supporting consistent engagement while accommodating work, family, and other commitments.
