I understand the decision to begin psychotherapy can be daunting and is often prompted by a range of psychological difficulties, questions, and experiences. I offer individual psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults in-person at my Brisbane CBD office and by telehealth (for older adolescents and adults). I can assist young people and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss including non-death losses, relational trauma, sexuality and gender identity concerns, low self-esteem/ chronic life dissatisfaction, relationship difficulties, and drug and alcohol dependence.

We can all become stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviours that keep us stuck and get in the way of living a satisfying life. Trauma or difficult experiences can have a lasting impact on us, influencing the way we see ourselves, people and the world around us. I am collaborative in my approach and endeavour to meet you with kindness, warmth, and a non-judgemental approach.

Men struggle to open up about whats troubling them. How do I know? Because I bottled my own troubles up for 30 years! Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety and burnout are all challenges I've worked through since I was 8 years old. I've learned through my own journey, that bottling things up doesn't help; and through Mindful Men, I aim to inspire men to open up, get the help they need, and live a life full of hope, purpose and joy.

Those diagnosed on the spectrum of Autism, ADHD and AuDHD, especially as an adult, can struggle to find the right support that understands individual needs for access, processing, recovery and integration. Challenging experiences, such as Grief & Bereavement events, Anxiety, Depression, Identity issues and Substance abuse can be especially unique for those who are Neurodivergent. Paramount is finding support that respects individuality, autonomy and does not pressure a person into conforming with unreasonable neurotypical expectations where these have been a historic source of detrimental masking.

Many of the men we work with aren’t in crisis. They’re capable, driven and doing well on paper. But something isn’t working. You might be shutting down in conflict, carrying quiet anger, feeling disconnected from your partner, or unsure who you are outside of work and responsibility. You want to show up better in your relationships, feel more steady in yourself, and stop repeating patterns you know aren’t working. You may have tried pushing through on your own. Now you’re ready for structured support that actually translates into real conversations, real decisions and real change.

You may feel stretched thin, notice tension in your chest, or lie awake replaying the day. Private struggles can build quietly and shape how you move. With the right support, things ease. Many people say they breathe more freely once we begin. We slow things down, understand patterns, and build steadier ways to meet stress, emotion, intimacy and change. I specialise in deeper emotional blocks that shape anxiety and sexual confidence, using hypnotherapy in a calm, grounded way. I bring twenty years in trauma, anxiety, sex therapy and transitions. If it feels right, you can reach out and we can take the next step together.

My professional journey has involved extensive work with individuals navigating complex challenges, including histories of PTSD, IPV, sexual trauma, anxiety, substance use, and attachment disorders. I would describe my practice as holistic, drawing primarily from well-established, evidence-based modalities such as TF-CBT to realistically address thought patterns, DBT to enhance emotional regulation & interpersonal skills, elements of ACT to foster psychological flexibility & EMDR to process traumatic memory. I value transparency, openness, & honesty, so we can collaboratively create an environment of mutual trust and understanding.

If you’ve found yourself here, chances are something important isn’t feeling right—maybe in your relationship, your sense of self, or both. Whether you’re in a new relationship or have been together for decades, it’s common to feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. And it’s not always easy to open up to friends, family, or even your partner. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change—emotionally, mentally, and in the way you connect with others. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about supporting you.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
