I provide a safe, open, and mobile space for children, adolescents, and families to navigate life’s most complex challenges. My practice is deeply person-centered, focusing on the "person-in-environment"—because I believe that for change to be sustainable, it has to work in the real world, not just a clinic room. How I Work Differently: I Come to You: I remove the barriers to care by offering sessions in your home or school across Perth (Applecross to Mandurah). Meeting families where they are most comfortable reduces anxiety and builds trust faster.
Behaviour as Communication: I look beyond the "problem" behaviour to understand what lies beneath. Strengths-Based: We don't just talk about problems; we recast them into strengths, empowering your child to build hope and resilience. As a male therapist with the option to use therapy dogs, I offer a unique, low-pressure connection for kids and teens.
Whether you are navigating complex trauma, school refusal, neurodivergence (ASD/ADHD), or family conflict, my goal is to co-construct a therapeutic alliance that honors your experience. I have opened 20 new slots for Term 2. I offer a free 15-minute "vibe check" call (phone or video) so we can see if I’m the right fit for your family before we begin.
