Psychological and psychoanalytic support for your patients
I’m Blake Davis — a registered psychologist and practising psychoanalyst consulting from Fitzroy North and Coburg. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have a particular interest in presentations where psychoanalytic thinking can complement psychiatric care.

Key Specialisations
Where I can support your patients
Children & adolescents
I work with young people using play therapy and developmentally informed approaches, in collaboration with families, schools, and treating teams. This can be especially useful where medication alone may not be addressing the full picture, or where a child’s distress is expressed through behaviour rather than words.
Disordered eating & body image
I have a particular interest in the psychological and relational dimensions of eating difficulties. My approach explores the meaning and function of symptoms — what food represents, what recovery threatens, and the unconscious dynamics that can maintain disordered patterns — alongside evidence-based interventions.
Clinical Approach
Integrating psychology and psychoanalysis
My work sits at the intersection of evidence-based psychological methods and psychoanalytic thinking. I find this combination particularly valuable when working with patients whose symptoms are entangled with deeper relational and developmental concerns — where standard protocols may plateau or where the patient’s ambivalence about change is itself part of the clinical picture.
For children, play therapy provides a way to access and work with material that may not yet be available through language. For adolescents and adults, I use the therapeutic relationship as a space to understand and gradually shift longstanding patterns.
Complex & treatment-resistant presentations
Psychoanalytic work can be a productive adjunct when patients have not responded fully to structured therapies.
Developmental & relational focus
Attention to the patient’s history, attachment patterns, and the dynamics that maintain difficulties.
Coordinated care
I value working closely with prescribers and am happy to provide regular updates and coordinate treatment goals.
