Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Psychologists and Therapists in South Hobart, TAS
I’m an Associate Professor in Psychotherapy at ACAP University College, where I am fortunate to have the opportunity to coordinate the largest Master’s Program in Counselling and Psychotherapy in the country. I also supervise emerging psychotherapists, social workers, and psychologists—while maintaining a small clinical practice. I’ve trained extensively in psychodynamic–interpersonal therapies, received gestalt supervision, and Eastern contemplative traditions, particularly Buddhist psychological traditions. In my research I advance transpersonal psychology and psychedelic-assisted therapy in Australia and internationally.

Going through something big?
Feeling lost, alone or overwhelmed ?
Being heard, held and understood helps and calm our nervous system and build our sense of self. From a strong sense of self, we are more empowered: from a clear-headed place we can make better choices.
Change comes in many forms—moving countries, questioning who you are, ending a relationship, navigating menopause, facing illness, or grieving someone you love However it arrives, change can unsettle us. Sometimes it’s chosen. Sometimes it isn’t.

I draw on relationship research, attachment perspectives, ACT, CBT, strengths-based and family systems ideas, depending on what best fits your situation.
Perhaps your relationship feels stuck. Maybe the same arguments keep happening, communication has become difficult, or life simply feels heavier than it once did. Many of the people I work with are couples feeling disconnected or individuals trying to make sense of stress, relationships, or major life challenges. I also work with anxiety, life transitions and questions about where to go from here. Alongside private practice, I lecture in the Discipline of Counselling at the University of Notre Dame Australia and bring many years of experience in counselling, relationship education and family support.

Whether it be related to relationships, health issues, work challenges, traumatic experiences or unhelpful thoughts, not one of us is without stress. Fortunately, there are many evidence-based techniques to choose from which can relieve stress or help to manage the anxiety, poor concentration, addictions, relationship strain, sleep problems or depression that come along with it.

I support individuals who have come to a point in their life where things are “just not right”, whether it is a general feeling of dissatisfaction, loss of meaning, or a specific situation causing them significant distress (e.g. issues in relationships, health, workplace,…). Opening a safe space to share what is going on is a first step towards feeling better and moving forward. Sometimes, exploring past events and emotions brings an understanding that can appease and help to let go. When you are ready, I work with you to better understand your context, resources and obstacles, and help you build a more grounded and meaningful life.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
