Trauma Focused Psychologists and Therapists in Carlton, VIC
Every person is unique, and we each experience life’s challenges in our own way. While similar situations may touch our lives, our responses to them are deeply personal and complex. I believe that therapy should reflect this individuality—there is no one-size-fits-all solution. My approach is tailored to meet you where you are, recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another, even if they’ve faced the same circumstances. Together, we’ll explore your needs, strengths, and goals to find the path that feels right for 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.

I work with adults experiencing relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, reassurance-seeking, jealousy or comparison, and reactions that feel disproportionate to what triggered them. These patterns tend to repeat across relationships, and often sit alongside high personal standards or a habit of putting others' needs first.
These patterns may have developed as responses to childhood relationships that were inconsistent, critical, or unpredictable. We work to both understand where these patterns came from and how they show up today to work towards lasting change.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, behind on things, or like you’re working twice as hard just to keep up? I provide neuro-affirming counselling for adults with ADHD, with a particular interest in supporting women and LGBTIQA+ clients, including those diagnosed later in life. Many people I work with have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves to meet expectations, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical ways to manage focus, emotional regulation, and everyday life.
