Are you struggling with motivation, trying to make sense of a recent loss, or putting on a brave face while feeling far from okay inside? Maybe you're going through a tough life transition, and you're not sure how to think, feel, or if your experience is "normal"? You don’t need the right words, a clear goal, or a crisis to be here. Therapy can start exactly where you are. Working with me feels more like a grounded conversation than a clinical process. Sessions are collaborative, unhurried, and focused on helping you understand what’s weighing on you, without pressure to fix yourself or move on before you’re ready.
I work with grief and loss, including sudden or unexpected bereavement and suicide, and have a strong interest in men’s mental health; areas often marked by silence or coping alone. I also support anxiety, stress, life changes, transitions and relationship concerns. I use a range of evidence-based therapuetic approaches, tailored to your needs and situation.
If any of this feels familiar, reaching out is an important step. We'll have a quick call and you can see if you feel like it's the right fit for you. SJT Counselling is a new, welcoming space in Warradale, built to feel calm and straightforward. You don’t need the right words or a clear plan, just a willingness to start the conversation.

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.
