I specialise in working with adults who haven't experienced the shift they hoped for through traditional talk therapy, guiding them to unpack core schemas and process deep-seated trauma using EMDR.

People come to therapy for a range of reasons. There might be recurrent problems in relationships or work, there might be disturbing feelings within, or behaviours that are defeating or destructive. Many people find that their usual ways of coping don’t seem to work for them anymore. Whatever the issue, undertaking psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to really understand the underlying drivers of the problem, in the context of your unique life history, and to find a way to transform your suffering. New possibilities for living with greater freedom and creativity might then appear.

I'm a qualified counsellor with a background in visual art. In sculpture, my process is one of layering and uncovering—of allowing for something unexpected to emerge through close attention and curiosity. In a similar way, therapy can bring patterns, memories, and underlying meanings into focus. As a therapist, I offer a space where people can discuss their thoughts, feelings, and personal history in an environment that is open, confidential, and free from judgement. My role is not to provide advice or ready-made solutions, but to support the process of exploration and encourage curiosity along the way.

Many people come to counselling feeling stuck inside a story about themselves or their lives that has become heavy or limiting. Perhaps a problem has begun to define how you see yourself, your relationships, or your sense of direction. When this happens it can feel as though the problem has taken up too much space in your life. Counselling can offer a place to step back, reflect, and begin to see the fuller picture of who you are and what matters to you.

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.
