Melbourne Psychologists / Our Team / Adam Engel

PSYCHOLOGIST

(he/him)

Adam is a general psychologist who supports clients across a broad range of psychological themes, including anxiety, depression, substance dependence, trauma, insomnia, and sexual concerns. Adam brings a warm and non-judgmental space where clients can feel free to explore new insights, guided by thought-provoking questions and meaningful conversations.

Adam blends a range of therapeutic methods to fit each client’s unique style and needs. These include solutions-focused brief therapy, schema therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. His style is feedback informed, meaning that he regularly checks in with clients to ensure that the therapy space is meeting expectations. He has a strong interest in personality and often works with people who may not be experiencing acute mental illness but are instead seeking personal development, increased self-awareness, and a strong sense of purpose in life. Adam also works with couples who are navigating challenges and who are seeking to enrich their relationships.

Adam has a diverse background, having previously worked in the engineering industry and as a musician. He enjoys music, travel, and a range of hobbies, and takes an interest in learning about each client’s unique passions and experiences.
