Warm, responsive, individualised psychotherapy and guidance for anyone, no matter where you are in your mental health journey. Individuals, Couples, Families and Groups - all welcome! Much of our work will involve processing our past in a safe and comfortable setting in the presence of an attentive ear, all the while recognising how we want to live our best lives in line with our goals and values today. Learn to be happy, healthy, and content with yourself and your loved ones!

I'm a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in several fields of psychological work, including forensic, correctional, psychiatric, and secondary mental health. I draw on attachment-based therapeutic models (schema/psychoanalytic/psychodynamic) and enjoy working with my clients medium—to long-term through life's seasons.

Psychotherapy with me will address problems with anxiety, avoidance, depression, anger, stress, self-esteem, sleep, regulation, attention, grief, trauma, neglect, addiction, obsession, compulsion, psychosis, communication, relationships, identity, personality, transitions, growth and more!

I work from an attachment perspective to understand how problems have manifested in your life from an early stage and how we might attend to them in the present. I prefer working broadly to include your partnership and family as psychodynamic legacies often bounce between partners and trickle down generations, especially if unattended to by one or both parties!

Dr Geoffrey Newbegin

Psychologist, PsychD, PsyBA General

I have had the pleasure to supervise Brett over the last few years and in that time watch him grow into a caring and curious psychologist. He has a deep interest in his clients well being and stories to tell. I would recommend Brett most highly to anyone.

Paco Romeu

Brett is an excellent therapist. I have always been struck by his professionalism, warmth, and commitment to the therapeutic process. His practice offers people the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how they feel and relate as adults.

I draw on attachment-based therapeutic models (schema/psychoanalytic/psychodynamic) to help unearth coping strategies and ways of relating with others and ourselves learnt during our early, formative years. Curiosity, openness and patience with this process are key to building clear targets for our work that we will continually address with care, compassion and consistency.
