Life throws curveballs—parenting, work stress, relationships—you name it. It’s easy to start wondering, am I even getting this right? You’re definitely not alone. As a dad of two, I get how messy and full-on life can feel. That’s why I offer therapy that’s real, down-to-earth, and works around your schedule with after-hours appointments available.
Please note that counselling is a self-funded service, as counsellors are not included under the Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and do not offer Medicare rebates in Australia.
I support people through the ups and downs of life—stress, relationships, parenting, or just feeling stuck. My approach is down-to-earth and practical, giving you tools that actually fit your life so you can feel clearer, calmer, and more confident.
If my approach doesn’t feel like the right fit, that’s completely okay—finding the right therapist is important. At Watkins Therapy Group we’ve got a great team, and I can help connect you with another counsellor who might suit you better. Your well-being always comes first.
