About Oludamilola
Oludamilola "Dami" Oladele is an AHPRA-registered clinician practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. He focuses on young adult issues and common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Dami works in a straightforward, respectful way. He encourages clear conversation about what is hard right now and what a person wants to change. Sessions aim to identify small steps that fit into a busy life and to build skills for everyday stressors like work, study and relationships.
He uses practical methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with client-centred listening. Therapy can include goal-setting, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying new behaviours to see what helps. Dami also brings approaches from trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect current feelings and decisions.
Dami has worked under clinical supervision while developing his independent practice. That experience includes supporting people with smoking and vaping cessation, mood difficulties, communication problems and self-worth concerns. He speaks English and Yoruba and practices in Australia.
People who meet him can expect direct feedback, clear suggestions and collaborative planning. To start, he asks about current struggles, practical limits like time and work, and what the person hopes to achieve over a few sessions.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters. It helps when anxiety or stuck thinking gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and teaches practical skills to break negative patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening and building a trusting working relationship, allowing the client to lead what gets discussed.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or shift schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue work with a therapist when relocating within Australia. The therapist will discuss session length and practical arrangements during the first booking so sessions fit everyday life.
