I got side tracked @MDT so sorry for the late reply.
I am going to be really blunt with you though - you need to find a path to follow and put all your energy and resources into that area. If you still want to go O/S and do the Warsaw thing then you need employment in the UK. You have the Visa stuff underway and have applied for positions there already - it may mean taking something you are not really that interested in just to get your foot in the door. Once there you can look for other opportunities through employment agencies. There are plenty in the UK that deal with Australian workers with a Visa.
If you decide to stay here then you may also need to work in an area that you are not using your degree for. It is very tough out there but again - once you have something you can work towards an area you want to get into. None of this will happen overnight and it is rare to be able to walk straight into a job you dream of.
I myself had 2 part-time jobs when I was your age - neither in an area I was really passionate about. I ended up going back to uni to do teaching when I was 30 but still wasn't full-time employed until my late 30s. Why am I telling you this - because no matter what we do there are just sometimes when we have to take what is out there and have a longer term plan to work towards.
You are a very intelligent and capable young man but it seems that you are placing so much pressure on yourself and your life to be just how you map it out right now. It seems like you did some great work with your psych today so take some time to sit back, have a break from all this thinking and then revisit what you discussed today. Make a plan A and a plan B (and a C, D, E, etc if you need). You can then be working towards one thing whilst another might happen for you. Patience is key here buddy as these things do take time.
