Counselling and coaching for blokes stuck in no man's land. You've got the job, the family, the toys. You should be happy, and you're not. You probably can't name why. There's anger that shows up out of nowhere, a relationship that's slowly falling apart, a sense of drifting, or a low-grade dissatisfaction that doesn't go away. You've probably tried to sort it on your own. Read a book. Changed your training. Had a weekend away. Things settled for a bit, then the same patterns came back. You're wondering if talking to someone might actually help.

Using EMDR and Internal Family Systems ( IFS), I work with clients to explore how early experiences and relationships shape present-day emotions, patterns, and difficulties — and to gradually process and integrate what's been carried for a long time.
I provide weekly or fortnightly therapy rather than short-term or crisis support. I accept clients from age 15, though my work is primarily with adults. I see clients under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) with Medicare rebates, as well as private health rebates, with an out-of-pocket gap per session.

I support individuals who have come to a point in their life where things are “just not right”, whether it is a general feeling of dissatisfaction, loss of meaning, or a specific situation causing them significant distress (e.g. issues in relationships, health, workplace,…).

Sometimes, exploring past events and emotions brings an understanding that can appease and help to let go. When you are ready, I work with you to better understand your context, resources and obstacles, and help you build a more grounded and meaningful life.

I work with adults living with the impact of childhood trauma, childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault and complex trauma. You may tell yourself you should be over it, but your body still reacts. You freeze, shut down, lash out or disappear inside yourself. You stay tense, overthink everything, struggle with trust, relationships, sex or intimacy, or sometimes feel nothing at all. You may have spent years pushing it down, avoiding it and getting on with life, yet it still shows up in ways you can’t always explain. You don’t have to hold it all together. We can start with what is happening now.

I believe we all deserve a supportive space where we can safely explore the issues that matter to us, at our own pace.

You may be feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed, while you try to navigate your experiences. I believe that by gaining insight and self awareness you can make meaning of these experiences and find your own answers, create and achieve your goals, and reach a new beginning.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
