My approach is grounded in warmth, empathy, evidence based practice and a deep commitment to fostering a safe, supportive and collaborative environment for healing.

I have an engaging and non judgmental approach to helping you with your difficulties and circumstances. We all face hard times and we can often feel stuck in life not knowing what will help. I specialise in working with people who feel stuck inside or in relationships. My approach is to work with you to explore what is going on in your life. Some of the area’s I can help with are: relationships, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, intimacy and couple problems, challenging behaviours in children, and working through symptoms of mental health disorders and dysfunction.

I help people sort through messy, complicated and stuck experiences. Our world is confusing and complicated (even at the best of times). We often find ourselves stuck, locked or held back by something we don’t fully understand, yet. I bring the best parts of therapy and coaching together. It’s here in this space, that we will make room for clarity, reflection, presence and activating the right kind of change.

Hi, I'm Anthony! I really appreciate people who are looking to start working on self improvement or looking to create change in their lives. Many people face complex challenges in modern day life - anxiety, depression and over reliance on old coping mechanisms. I enjoy walking alongside a person and looking at what is still useful and relevant to their values and goals, what will move them towards growth rather than away and into old patterns or behaviors.

Many people in the current era are looking for creative alternatives to standard therapy options. Whether it be because of public health concerns, having caring responsibilities, being unable to find a suitable therapist in a particular geographic location or simply preferring the convenience that online counselling affords, telehealth may be an appropriate option. I offer confidential online or face-to-face psychology consultations and particularly resonate with those who have experienced anxiety, stress, trauma and burnout, not merely as an aloof observer, but rather as a fellow traveller who has walked that well worn path.

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!

How are things going for your children? You might have stumbled across something thats really worried you. Maybe they've pulled back into social media or video games. Perhaps they're having some eating issues. The GP may be saying they have anxiety or depression. If you're still reading, things are probably feeling pretty off between you, your kid(s) and other important people. These problems might have you wondering if you've stuffed up as a parent, or fearing the worst if things don't improve. It's painful because it really matters. I have helped hundreds of families, facing problems like these, get their lives back on track.

Change is often possible in just minutes and for more than 20 years I've been helping people overcome roadblocks of the mind. ​If you feel as if you're in a stuck place then reach out for a free confidential chat. ​It can't get any less expensive and it just might change your life for the better! ​Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of many effective forms of therapy for anxiety, however there's also Neuro-Linguistic Psychology (NLP) Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) Person-centered, Mindfulness and the list goes on. However, tapping into your inner power is the transformation goal.
