"I don't take myself too seriously, but I
take my work very, very seriously."
Sharing your emotions should always feel safe and positive, and understanding who you're speaking with is the first step. You can trust that I provide a secure and ethical service, as I'm a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and listed on the Australian Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (ARCAP). I strictly follow the ACA's ethical guidelines to ensure your well-being.
My Approach
My primary practice is pluralistic and person-centred, offering trauma-informed healing with a compassionate presence and no rigid interventions. I champion your complete autonomy, backed by psychological science—no gimmicks or lectures. I firmly believe that mental health and physical health are not separate; they are integral parts of our overall wellbeing. Our first session is for us to connect, and for you to understand my approach. I create a confidential, welcoming space where you, as the expert on your life, lead our open-ended sessions. My role is to listen empathetically, reflect your experiences, and help you gain deeper self-awareness, fostering connection to your authentic self. Throughout our work, I emphasise the importance of presence, recognising that our energy, both within our bodies and around us, also profoundly influences our wellbeing.
My History
My non-traditional path to counselling includes two decades in the corporate sector, where I developed analytical skills and a deep interest in human dynamics. My time in Correctional Services further illuminated the complex challenges individuals face, enabling me to help you identify patterns and foster understanding. My personal experiences as a husband, father, and someone who has navigated relationship challenges, complex family dynamics, addiction, and neurodiversity, provide me with genuine empathy and insight.
I'm passionate about guiding you through life's overwhelming challenges in a no-pressure environment, helping you unearth the root of your struggles for a more empowered and joyful life. Authenticity is key: I offer a judgement-free space where all topics are welcome, believing true healing stems from complete openness. Together, we'll create a safe place for your true self to thrive.
