Psychologist, MPsych, MAPS
Serves Area
My ideal client isn't perfect-they've been through things, lost confidence, or carry pain they rarely speak aloud. They're often high-functioning but exhausted, craving a circuit-breaker. They want more than just symptom relief-they want clarity, connection, and a life that actually feels like theirs. They come with questions like "Is this all there is?" or "Why can't I just move on?" —and they're ready, even if nervously, to do the real work of healing with someone who gets it.

Counsellor, ACA-L2

Most of the people I work with are migrants, international students or first-generation professionals juggling family expectations, career pressure and the quiet loneliness of starting over in a new country. Some come in because work has become unmanageable. Others because old cultural messages about mental health are colliding with a life that no longer fits them. I've lived a version of this myself - moving from India, working in IT, then rebuilding around counselling. We validate what's actually going on, then build a plan you can use.

Mornington, VIC 3931
I’m a registered psychologist based in Mornington. I work with teens and adults — particularly men — who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, emotional shutdown, low mood, or significant life pressure. Many of the people I see have spent years pushing through, supporting others, and holding things together — until that approach stops working. My style is calm, direct, and grounded. I don’t believe people are broken. I believe most people are responding as best they can to pressure, expectations, and experiences they were never taught how to process.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
