G'day, my name is Coby. I have spent more than 15 years in psychotherapy and mental health practice, helping individuals of different ages and backgrounds navigate life’s challenges with compassion, care and empathy. Having lived across several countries and cultures, I bring a deeply informed, culturally responsive perspective to my therapeutic work. I specialise in grief and loss, gender and sexuality (LGBTIQA), complex trauma, family and domestic violence, attachment difficulties, ASD, ADHD, personality disorders, relationship and intimacy issues, anger management, family conflict, workplace bullying and intercultural adjustment.
Additionally, I have extensive experience assisting clients facing domestic violence issues on a Partner Visa, adeptly navigating complex immigration and tribunal matters. I offer mental health social work assessments and reports, psychotherapy and counselling, social support, and independent expert witness opinions to support your immigration matters.
I offer practical, compassionate and evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs and goals, helping you feel understood, supported and better equipped to move forward. Eligible clients, including international students, may access rebates through Medicare, OSHC or private health insurance. You are warmly welcome to reach out to me at any time. Thanks.
