Hi, I'm Alex. I help people who worry about what others think of them, get stressed or uncomfortable in social situations, find it hard to trust or be vulnerable with people, or keep running into difficulties in their relationships. I also work with people who get overwhelmed or shut down, spend too much time caught in their own head, experience stress and tension in their body, or have a hard time understanding why they feel and react the way they do. Sometimes the difficulty is broader; knowing what you want, finding your place with other people, or working out how to navigate a life that doesn't always make much sense to you.

Sometimes we experience a sense of stuckness in life and things can seem as though they are on a loop. We are bothered by inner resistance, doubt, restlessness, or anxiety. There may be challenges showing in our relationships, work, dreams and physical wellness. These symptoms could be signalling that something is emerging, something quite useful. It’s entirely possible that this is an invitation to grow, to learn, to change. I will support you to explore what is happening in a safe and meaningful way.

Lismore, NSW 2480
My experience so far has been with youth & adults, often neurodivergent or living with complex mental health challenges, seeking self-understanding. They struggle with intense emotions, self-criticism, and complex relationships, often stemming from trauma or deep-seated fears of isolation. They need a safe, affirming, and trauma-informed space to explore these issues, learn emotional regulation, and set healthy boundaries. Their goal is to build self-worth, find authentic connection, increase independence, and ultimately live a more peaceful, confident, and self-directed life.

I specialise in supporting three distinct client groups 1. Men 2. Anyone struggling with screen addictions 3. Anyone struggling with eco-anxiety & climate grief. Many men struggle in silence, carrying a heavy burden of overwhelm, uncertainty, stagnation, numbness and confusion. I help guide men through murky, stormy waters. I support those with screen addictions to reduce their screen use so they can get back in touch with themselves and their loved ones. I also support those troubled by climate change and the deteriorating state of the natural world to process their eco-grief and regulate their climate anxiety in a grounded way.

My ideal client is someone who is reflective and open to exploring the deeper layers of their experience. They may be navigating challenges such as anxiety, neurodivergence, or past trauma, but they are also seeking more than symptom relief—they want to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and joy. They are curious, engaged in their personal growth, and ready to foster a greater sense of fulfillment and authenticity in their lives.

Psychologist, PsyBA General
Mullumbimby, NSW 2482
I help people who feel stuck between who they are and who they feel they’re meant to be. Often, this shows up as anxiety, low mood, overthinking, or a sense of dissatisfaction that’s hard to explain. Therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and understand these patterns—so they no longer quietly run your life. My work is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. I aim to create a calm, respectful space where insight and self-compassion can grow. Together, we focus on understanding your inner world, building emotional awareness, and developing skills that support long-term change—not just symptom relief.

Psychologist, PsychD, Australian Association of Psychologists - Member

I believe all people have an innate capacity for wisdom and, with this, a natural capacity for healing. I aim to empower people by supporting their connection to this inner wisdom while gently addressing the barriers that may limit access to it and prevent them from living a full and enriching life. Many people experience difficulties related to unresolved issues from the past, stressful relationship dynamics, work-related challenges, self-defeating behavioural patterns, and self-critical ways of thinking. Psychological counselling can help to develop insight, build on your strengths, and support meaningful and lasting change.
