PATRICK DONLON
he/him
Patrick is a provisional psychologist in his final placement at DKM. He will complete his Master in Psychology (Educational and Developmental) at the Australian Catholic University by the end of 2026. Patrick is dedicated to conducting evidence-based psychological assessments and providing evidence-based intervention services to clients of all ages, especially children and young people.
Patrick is available for individual therapy, and diagnostic assessment (including ADHD, Autism) for children, adolescents, and adults. He splits his placement across our Caulfiled practice and one of our affiliated schools.
Please note that for all clients aged 17 and younger, a parent session is required as the initial appointment. This allows Patrick to obtain developmental history of the client and to understand the presenting concerns from a parent's perspective.
Teenage clients can attend the initial session but this will be split into two halves; first half parent and Patrick and second half client/client and parent with Patrick.
