Denis Nyaguy: Psychologist BSc (Hons), Ph.D, Grad. Dip.Psych., M. Psych.

I began my career as a scientist having completed an Honours Degree in Biological Sciences followed by a Doctorate of Philosophy in Immunology at Monash University in 1986. I have worked in research and development in a number of positions including roles with the Victorian State Government and with a biotechnology company, working on industry and medical research projects.

In my early 40’s I took a change in direction returning to university to study psychology. During this period I worked as a facilitator with a bereavement support group for The Centre for Grief and Bereavement and as a Counsellor for a university counselling service. I joined the Psychology team at Thompson Road Clinic in March 2010.

As a general psychologist I work mainly with adults and teenagers and have particular interests in anxiety disorders, depression, pain management, relationship difficulties, effective parenting, and grief and loss.

My qualifications in Psychology include a Post-Graduate Diploma and a Master of Psychology degree. I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society and I am fully registered with the Psychology Board of Australia.
