About Darryl
Darryl Nettleton is an AASW social worker in Australia with 24 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also helps people managing ageing and geriatric issues, attachment questions, blended family concerns and family of origin issues.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress now. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps. Darryl draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and actions.
Client-centred principles guide how he listens and responds. That means the person’s own goals shape what happens each week. Dialectical behaviour ideas are available when emotion regulation and tolerance skills are needed.
He can address problems linked to relationships and fatherhood without running couple or family therapy sessions unless that is specifically arranged. He also works with grief, end-of-life concerns and issues around forgiveness, guilt and shame in an individual setting.
Darryl asks new clients to describe brief history and current concerns before the first meeting. From there he and the client agree on goals and a plan. He uses clear language, measurable steps and regular reviews so progress is easy to see.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
This therapist draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that match those values. That can be done in conversation and with short exercises between sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building skills to change behaviour and mood, which often uses worksheets and home practice that fit well with remote meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Darryl works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping, so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
The original biography does not specify which online formats he uses, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular sessions while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
