Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Carnegie, VIC

I create a safe and open space for my clients to therapeutically explore their issues, challenges and concerns. My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring the connections between their trauma and life experiences and how this has impacted their lives in positive and negative ways. I like to work with clients that are action and goal oriented, as I like to set homework tasks and brain training exercises to re-wire their thinking in a healthier and more functional way. I am very conversational and my clients like this approach to discussing areas of concern to them.

I am a holistic Psychologist with eight years experience working with people who have experienced trauma, complex relationships, financial and work related stress, as well as parenting and generational tension.

Hi I'm Paul, I'm a registered Psychologist and the Director of Adaptive Counselling and Psychology in Bentleigh. I believe that good therapy means having a good therapeutic relationship, and I take the time to build this before getting stuck into treatment. I see anyone aged 15+ and have a particular focus on working with depression, anxiety (general and social), stress, and trauma.

Life can be challenging at times. When we are faced with challenges we may feel alone, 'stuck', confused or feel that our well-being is being compromised. I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief , loss or trauma, or are experiencing domestic violence. At the same juncture, you may want some help overcoming anxiety when faced with a job interview or an exam. By working within the therapy framework, clients learn to understand themselves better and see what is needed to become empowered in their own lives.

I support adults, including parents, wherever they are in their journey of understanding ADHD and neurodivergence, to move forward to their best life. You may be starting the journey towards understanding a later in life ADHD diagnosis (which was my own personal journey). Or you may be parenting a child who is ADHD or autistic. You may be trying to improve your current relationship, or wanting to heal from a harmful past. You would like to be supported by someone who has lived experience of ADHD and living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.
