Upper Coomera, QLD 4209
My clients often look confident and capable but feel unsettled inside. They long for connection yet fear being truly seen. Relationships can feel too intense or too distant. Many live with a harsh inner critic and a need to prove their worth, while quietly feeling empty or ashamed. What they want most is to feel real, to find a steadier sense of self not tied to success or approval. In our work, they begin to trust, connect more deeply, and relate to themselves and others with greater honesty and ease.

I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

I help with individuals and couples experiencing relationship and emotional difficulties that feel hard to change on their own. Many couples come feeling stuck in repeated conflict, emotional distance, or like they’ve become “housemates” rather than partners. Others feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns in relationships and life that keep repeating. Some are navigating deeper challenges such as betrayal, broken trust, or long-term disconnection. I help you understand these patterns and what sits beneath them, so you can begin to respond differently and move toward more connection, clarity, and stability.
