Many of the men and couples I work with have spent years trying to hold everything together. They may be living with anxiety, burnout, loneliness, relationship difficulties, or questions about identity and belonging. Some are navigating coming out later in life, open relationships, intimacy concerns, or changing family dynamics. Others simply want a place where they do not have to explain what it means to be a gay or queer man. Together we explore what is keeping them stuck, reduce the impact of shame and self-criticism, and build greater confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing.
As a proud Wotjobaluk man, gay father and registered counsellor, I combine professional training with lived experience. Using person-centred therapy, CBT and ACT, I offer an affirming, sex-positive and kink-aware space where you can explore challenges honestly, reduce shame and build meaningful change.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, especially if you've been carrying things on your own. Whether we meet online or in Melbourne, I aim to create a space where you feel understood, not judged. I also facilitate Community Couch Conversations, a free online community for gay and queer men.
