I didn't take the standard route into psychology. Before this, I served in the Army, then worked in freight handling, underground mining, project engineering, IT, and corporate operations. I know high-pressure industries, and like anyone who's lived a real life, I've had my own share of hard years, including my own lived experience of addiction and mental health recovery. I work with men navigating stress, trauma, addiction, and life pressure, particularly veterans, first responders, tradies, and professionals, as well as people affected by relationship harm from both sides.

I am a practising psychoanalyst working with adult and adolescent individuals and couples.
I seek to support those looking to resolve inner conflict and find positive change for their lives. You may want to move away from difficult emotional states like depression, anxiety, anger and loneliness or address repetitive and destructive behaviours such as substance abuse or sexual compulsion that are holding you back. You may also be overwhelmed by big transitions like bereavement, divorce or relocation and feel stuck, or unvalued, in your professional journey.

Understanding our problems and achieving change in our lives is found in considering our whole life journey. Our past provides a foundation for learning, our present provides us with the opportunity for agency and choice and our future can provide a meaningfulness. From this we can grow, strive, be more resilient and better adapt to what ever life throws at us. Psychotherapy works best when we recognise we have strengths not just weaknesses, our symptoms are part of us not all of us, change is about both loss and gain and that insight and self-knowledge is the basis for real enduring change.

So many concerns come from overthinking & believing what we think too often. So many concerns come from overthinking & believing what we think too often. Circumstances can be challenging/overwhelming. We can become depressed/anxious, which can affect relationships; especially after recent/past traumatic experiences, or distressing/unsupportive family relationships, which can negatively affect our ability to cope, & our view of ourselves & our place in the world. Mindfulness-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ACT/CBT/Schema Therapy/MET) can effectively address unhelpful patterns of thinking & behaviour.

Being overwhelmed, uncertain or in pain, is your unconscious saying it's time for a change.
Frequently, though, working out just how to do that, can also be overwhelming in itself, and might only be possible with an ally from outside your normal environment .....So ...
What I offer is the result of many years of experiences, not necessarily welcome at the time, but it does turn out to be really worthwhile when working with people in distress, or people simply seeking change, or wanting a new (outlook on) life.
My 'speciality' would be; people who are new to therapy, and those not so new, looking for something different.

I welcome individuals, young adults, professionals, and people from all walks of life. My clients often seek help as they navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, chronic illness, or complex mental health conditions. They come seeking a safe, compassionate space where they can be heard without judgment.
I collaborate with them to move forward by looking beyond surface symptoms to address the deeper root causes of their discomfort. Rather than focusing on pathological labels, I provide tailored, empathetic guidance to help clients rebuild their sense of self and navigate life's big transitions.

Life can challenge even the most capable among us. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, despite your strengths, you’re not alone. I understand how hard it can be to reach out, especially when you’ve always been the one others rely on. As a Clinical Psychologist, I focus on two areas: men’s mental health and couples therapy. For men, the pressure to “hold it together” often leads to burnout, anxiety, or emotional shutdown. I’m drawn to couples who feel stuck either in repeated conflict or emotional distance. I work well in complex environments when there’s a fundamental willingness to engage in the process.

Starting therapy can be a big step, especially if you’re not sure what to expect. I’m a clinical psychologist who works with adults to understand what’s going on and find meaningful ways forward. My approach is collaborative and respectful—I’ll work with you to make sense of your experiences and identify changes that are manageable. I aim to create an environment where you can speak openly, feel understood, and gradually build the skills you need to navigate your challenges with more confidence.

Living is a process. When things are difficult, when we suffer in ways that time alone doesn't fix, it's often because something is stuck in the process of our experiencing. Maybe you have a sense that something is weighing on you, that patterns are repeating, that you don't feel fully present in your own life. I believe we make sense of our experiences through language, and that patterns repeat and process stalls when we haven't found the right words to articulate a feeling that is desperate for expression. If we can't express ourselves truly and precisely, we are destined to keep journeying down the same unsatisfying path.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
