I also work with anxiety, low mood, life transitions, substance use issues, family/relationship issues, grief/loss, self-esteem and trauma (including intergenerational trauma).
Hey, I'm Dr Justin, and my practice has a focus on LGBTQIA+ wellbeing. I'm very interested in relational dynamic patterns, and how these underpin common issues that we experience during our lives. I provide a compassionate, individualised space where clients can explore how past experiences shape their present-day concerns, and I pay close attention to the subtle and varied ways this can occur. I draw upon psychodynamic and schema therapy approaches to help identify and repair problematic emotional and behavioural patterns. My aim is to help you build a detailed and nuanced understanding of your relational self.

Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then please reach out so I can support you in finding the change you need.

We understand that ADHD is not simply about attention or organisation, it affects emotions, relationships, work, study, self-esteem, and daily life in deeply personal ways.
As with many conditions, the earlier ADHD can be diagnosed, the better the outcomes usually are. Considering a professional ADHD assessment is a crucial step. It not only helps in understanding yourself or your child’s strengths but also provides insights into effective strategies for managing the condition.

I am a Melbourne-based clinical psychologist. I work with people who find themselves repeating the same difficult relationship patterns, feeling disconnected or in conflict with others, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in ways of relating that no longer serve them. Therapy can help make sense of these patterns and create opportunities for change. I also work with people adjusting to life after serious illness, injury, or hospitalisation. I have a particular interest in psychological adjustment following intensive care (ICU), supporting both patients and those close to them. I am registered with the TAC.

From time-to-time we all have issues going on in our lives that feel overwhelming, confusing and too hard to deal with on our own. At the same time, for various reasons, it often feels as if there is no one there we feel safe enough with whom we can share our burdens. Whether it's a messy divorce, the death of a loved one, a traumatic experience, an existential crisis about the meaning of life, or a difficult decision that has to be made - it can be hard to figure out what to do or who to turn to for guidance.
