About Us

At Hawksburn Therapy Centre, we have refined our therapeutic approach through 45 years of experience. Our method is more than observation; it is about getting to the heart of who you are and tailoring therapy to your unique circumstances and challenges. When we know you, we can help you.

Our therapists have extensive practice history in hospitals, community clinics, and research centres, where we have developed personalised assessments and evidence-based strategies to help you make that next step.

Centre Director, Lynne Datnow, brings over four decades of clinical and research experience working with individuals, couples, families, childen and adolescents. Her time in clinical practice and tertiary teaching has allowed her to develop a deep understanding of our complex human experience; perhaps best described an awareness of the intricate and interconnected relationship between our individual systems, emotional world and family system. She is particularly sought after in resolving challenging relationship issues and addressing intergenerational family conflicts, conditions (such as anxiety), and parenting concerns.
