Psychologist, PsyBA General

Hi, I'm Travis, a psychologist from Sydney who works with individuals and couples.
The two main reasons I’ve found in my practice that people put off getting therapy are cost and fear of getting a therapist they don’t gel with. Thinking about it in reverse, therapy is costly, but it's also incredibly valuable. And unfortunately, to find a therapist you’ll gel with might take a few attempts, but I can help you there.

They could be struggling with their mood, with their fears, with addiction, with relationship issues, with stress.
To help overcome this, I use a case formulation approach which involves answering four basic questions: First, what are your important life events, what happened to you? Second, how did it affect you, what impact did it have? Third, what sense did you make of it, why you? Fourth, what did you have to do to survive and did that work at the time but not now?

As we gain this understanding of you, it becomes easier for you and I to make sense of what is happening within you, why you act and feel a particular way in certain situations and relationships.
Over 25 years I have helped many distressed people with symptoms of anxiety, depression, seeing and feeling negatively about themselves, difficulty in relationships or with finding a partner, sexuality, gender and trauma. Usually we discover ways they can manage these symptoms without being controlled by them and frequently they can even move beyond them

Life can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming, leaving us unsure of where to go next or what to do. In those moments, the sense of being stuck can be unsettling, making us question everything. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions may feel unclear. Yet, there's a part of us that yearns to grow—a curious part that seeks to learn and evolve through these experiences. This part wants to develop emotional resilience, embrace uncertainty, and foster greater self-awareness. Ultimately, it's the part that strives to become the most authentic and reliable version of ourselves.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
