We all want happy secure, attachments with our loved ones. But adverse childhood experiences or attachment trauma, as well as neuro-divergence, can make it hard to feel safe and calm in our relationships with others. Building and maintaining intimate relationships requires emotional vulnerability and trust, which can feel impossible when we have been hurt, let down, or even abused by relationships in the past. We can experience relationships as dangerous, leaving us anxious, depressed, or alone, without understanding why.

Hello! I am a multilingual AuDHD Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in providing neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy to adults who are (or who believe they might be) autistic and/or ADHD. I combine several evidence-based therapy modalities to collaboratively create a treatment plan that is carefully tailored to the person’s neurotype, goals and capacity in terms of their available energy levels. If you have experienced the more traditional forms of therapy as neuro-normative and it did not quite resonate with you, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you.

Hello, I’m Anthony, and I’m passionate about supporting people who are ready to make positive changes in their lives. Life can be overwhelming at times, and many individuals face challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relying on old coping mechanisms that no longer serve them. My approach is to walk alongside you as we explore what aligns with your values and goals, helping you move towards growth, developing new stories or beliefs, while letting go of patterns that may no longer be helpful.
I bring a compassionate, empathetic, trauma informed approach, along with lived experience, to our work together.

You feel a disconnect between the life you’re living and the one you know you’re capable of. Perhaps you’re navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, the weight of anxiety, or the cycle of addictive behaviours like pornography use. You aren't looking for just a listener; you want a proactive partner to help you break unhealthy habits, manage stress, and find clarity amidst life's transitions. You are ready to move from "surviving" to a life of balanced, intentional growth.

Many of the people I work with are externally functioning but feel emotionally overwhelmed, navigating stress/burnout or complex life transitions often with underlying trauma. Substance, food, work or device dependency are common with feelings of being stuck in patterns shaped by early attachment wounds, perfectionism, ADHD/ASD. My clients seek to feel more regulated, connected and free — not just coping, but thriving. They’re seeking depth, insight, and practical tools to shift longstanding patterns, and are drawn to an integrative approach that blends evidence-based therapy, somatic work, and compassionate curiosity.

I have had a lot of experience with working with people and I very much appreciate the need to have someone listen, and I mean truly listen. Our world is often fast and furious, our lives more often than not quite chaotic, and it can be difficult to cope with the many hurdles that are thrown at us, and to find someone who actually offers their help unconditionally. My role as your Counsellor is to walk by your side, to respect the privilege that it is to share your story with you, and to perhaps work with you to help find the way forward. Sometimes it is just an ear that makes the difference.

I have over 20 years of experience and have had the privilege of working in private practice in the Western suburbs of Brisbane working with many general practitioners and specialists. I work with domestic violence survivors, trauma survivors, anxiety and depressive disorders. I have a close working relationship with bariatric surgeons for pre-operative and post operative care. Many orthopaedic surgeons refer their clients for adjustment to injury counselling as well as oncologists post diagnosis. I look forward to meeting others who wish to seek me out for their journey in psychology.
