Psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery, and I honor the complexity and richness of the human experience as a foundation for growth and change.

I offer a collaborative and reflective space where you can speak freely and feel deeply listened to. My approach is guided by genuine curiosity about who you are. Rather than reducing your experience to a diagnosis, I seek to understand your story: your history and relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. When given the space to be heard without judgment, new understanding can emerge, and with it, the possibility for meaningful change. I have over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across public and private health settings.

I’m a Melbourne-based psychologist working from a psychodynamic and attachment-informed approach.
I work with adults seeking relief from their difficulties, as well as growth through a deeper understanding of themselves. Difficulties may show up in relationships, anxiety, grief, self-criticism, perfectionism, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. I have a particular interest in perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postnatal adjustment, loss, and shifts in identity. Many people I see are functioning in their lives but feel privately stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in familiar patterns.

My name is Seb and I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist working in Melbourne and Kyneton.
For me, Psychotherapy is the science and art of creating transformative change by using the healing power of relationships that are grounded in safety and trust.
The motivation for change might be prompted by a loss, a crisis or a need to fix specific problems, yet it often ends up with stepping into a deeper, more connected sense of self, responsibility, love and freedom.
Thus, Psychotherapy is a place to accept and come to terms with how our experiences and stories have shaped us into who we are, and how we live and love.

Life isn’t always smooth sailing. We all face challenges, emotional upsets, and moments of uncertainty. Most of the time, we manage to adapt and heal on our own. But sometimes, the pain lingers, and we find ourselves stuck, unsure of how to move forward. In these moments, having the right support can make all the difference.
As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. I listen not only to your words but also to the emotions beneath them, helping uncover insights that can lead to healing and change.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are used to coping well but find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck or burnt out. This may relate to workplace stress, trauma, relationship difficulties or navigating a major life transition. I often work with professionals and people in high-pressure roles who are used to being the one others rely on. Sessions provide space to step back, make sense of what is happening, and develop practical strategies to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

A wish to get better, and a willingness to look inside oneself. These are the only essentials for success in therapy. I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.

With trauma or ongoing stress, survival energy becomes stuck in our nervous system. We might make adjustments, like seeking or avoiding certain types of situations, or clenching certain muscles to dodge tricky feelings or sensations. We believe this keeps us safe from what we fear, but we can also feel trapped in patterns that take a huge toll on our lives, health and relationships. My clients and I work together with sensitivity and compassion & discover ways to gently restore a sense of inner security, peace and passion for life.
