Hi, I’m Michael, a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with over 15 years of experience in trauma-informed care, counselling, and psychotherapy. My journey in mental health is deeply personal, shaped by caring for family members with significant challenges and the loss of many loved ones to suicide. These experiences inspire me to provide a safe, empathetic, and culturally inclusive space where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive.
Why Choose Me?
My journey in mental health has shaped my empathy-driven and trauma-informed approach. I’ve walked the path, so I understand yours.
I am a PhD candidate in Mental Health, hold a Master of Social Work (specialising in counselling for loss and grief), an MBA (Distinction), a Diploma in Psychology (with Merit), and certifications in mental health, organisational psychology, and leadership. I am also a current Accredited Social Worker with the AASW, and an active member of professional orgs.
Alongside decades of lived experience and academic achievements, I bring over 15 years of professional expertise in Australia’s mental health sector. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, addiction,trauma, grief, or seeking personal growth, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll build a path toward resilience, healing, and lasting change.
