I use a mix of evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Therapy — but my focus is always on making therapy feel like a genuine, collaborative conversation. I have a particular interest in grief and loss, especially sudden and unexpected bereavement (including suicide), and men’s mental health — two areas often marked by silence and misunderstanding. I also work with anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, creating space for people to be seen, heard, and understood.
My career has spanned community mental health organisations, high schools and universities, sporting clubs, acute mental health services, and senior clinical management roles — each chapter adding another layer to my understanding of how people live, cope, and grow.
Nestled in the leafy suburb of Warradale, the newly completed SJT Counselling space aims to provide a different approach to therapeutic engagement, with warm aesthetics and a modern feel providing a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment.

I use a mix of evidence-based approaches — but my focus is always on making therapy feel like a genuine, collaborative conversation. We explore together: your stories, your patterns, your hopes for the future. I'm down-to-earth, curious, and not afraid to gently challenge when it's helpful.
