Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that aren't helping, or struggling in your relationship? Maybe you look like you're coping on the outside, but inside feel exhausted, disconnected or uncertain about what to do next. I'm Andrew and thanks for stopping by. With over 15 years experience, I am a registered clinical psychotherapist with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. My approach is supportive and grounded in evidence-based approaches. I provide health insurance rebates for most providers.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, emotional distance, affairs, trust issues and life transitions. Together we explore the patterns that keep you stuck and help you reconnect with yourself and each other. I offer a free initial 15 minute consult which is a really good way for us to meet.
The benefits of video-based counselling and its effectiveness are many. This approach saves time on finding parking, rushing to appointments and allows you to decide where you want to be for the session. It is private, secure and effective. It works great for couples that might struggle to be in the same room (schedules, conflict, commitments etc).

I think of our thoughts, behaviours and feelings as all part of the running system that is human. Sometimes the connection or alignment between these parts can need some exploring.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people I work with simply want to understand themselves better, improve their relationships and feel more like themselves again.
