I also accept clients using WorkCover, FAS, National Redress Scheme or NDIS funding.
I specialise in trauma informed care and have a deep understanding of the complex and long-lasting impacts it can have on you. In some cases, therapy itself can be a source of more trauma. Your safety is my highest priority as we work together and empower you to have a say in how we approach your symptoms. There is no one size fits all and so with your feedback, we will find the best suited interventions for you.

Life throws curveballs—parenting, work stress, relationships—you name it. It’s easy to start wondering, am I even getting this right? You’re definitely not alone. As a dad of two, I get how messy and full-on life can feel. That’s why I offer therapy that’s real, down-to-earth, and works around your schedule with after-hours appointments available. Please note that counselling is a self-funded service, as counsellors are not included under the Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and do not offer Medicare rebates in Australia.

Wholehearted Psychology - Clinical Psychologist
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Serves Area
Private Health Insurance, NDIS, Worksafe, DVA Veteran Gold Cards, and TAC claims are all accepted.
We can focus on a specific problem area you bring to therapy, and delve to a deeper level of understanding of the issue/s so as to resolve it, or we can work in a more fluid, open-ended manner, with self-discovery in mind. While I am not resistant to diagnosis and working within a pathological lens, I like to see people outside of narrow diagnostic labels. In the first instance, my first approach is to understand a client’s suffering by learning about them as unique individuals with complex histories and adaptive coping strategies. As I engage wholeheartedly with clients, my ask is that clients attempt to engage wholeheartedly too.
