Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

I work with adults and older adults struggling with insomnia, sleep anxiety, or poor sleep quality — often people who have tried other approaches without lasting results, or who sense something deeper is keeping their nervous system alert at night.
I specialise in insomnia and sleep disorders, drawing on CBT-I, Compassion Focused Therapy, ACT, and EMDR. My work focuses on understanding what the nervous system is doing when sleep won't come — and building lasting safety, not just better sleep habits. Telehealth across Australia, Tuesday to Thursday.

My ideal client is a leader — a Pastor, executive, or senior manager — who has given everything to their role, only to find themselves burnt out, betrayed, or quietly falling apart. They've experienced abuse, toxic organisational culture, or trauma they haven't yet named. They're high-functioning on the outside, isolated on the inside. They want to be believed, understood, and helped to rebuild — without losing themselves in the process. They're ready to do the hard work, and they need someone who truly gets the cost of leadership.

You may have tried to change — or tried therapy before — and found that talking hasn't been enough. Something in you knows what you're carrying goes deeper than stress or bad habits. Perhaps addiction, trauma, or painful patterns keep pulling you back and you don't fully understand why. Maybe life feels heavy, relationships are strained, or you've lost your sense of self. You might feel ashamed, exhausted, or simply stuck. You don't need to have it figured out to reach out. You just need to be ready to look a little deeper. That readiness is enough.

I am highly passionate about working with young people & my own queer community, including other gay men, gender diverse & HIV positive folk, as well as all people from minority groups or diverse cultural backgrounds, including neurodiverse folk & people with a disability. As members of marginalised populations, we often share that sense of shame (as well as pride!) that comes with not living up to the dominant culture's expectations of 'normal'. Queerphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, toxic masculinity, minority stress, micro-aggressions, internalised shame & identity concerns are often daily experiences for many of us.

My clients tend to be individuals who may not yet have the words to articulate what’s going wrong, but know deep down that something isn’t working. They may feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or stuck—struggling to make sense of cognitive changes, learning difficulties, emotional dysregulation, or a life path that’s been shaped by disability, trauma, or health events. Whether it’s a teenager who’s always felt “different,” an adult navigating the aftermath of brain injury, or a parent trying to understand their child’s complex presentation, they are seeking clarity, validation, and direction.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
