Psychologist, Coach
Hurstville, Sydney NSW 2220
In Person + Online Therapy Australia-wide
Philosophy & Vision
I believe people deserve to be happy, feel good within themselves, and lead functional, productive lives regardless of their background or adversities they face. I understand this may be confronting and challenging and I work hard with my clients in exploring deep values and finding inner motivation. I gain immense satisfaction when clients achieve their potential, recover from mental health concerns, find the courage to deal with past trauma, or make positive life changes.
Background
I have always had a strong interest in human behaviour, and in 2013 I followed my passion and commenced the pathway to become a Psychologist. I am blessed to be happily married with a beautiful family and I draw on those experiences in connecting with the joys and stresses of moving through the demographics of life. Being a male clinician and role model has been valuable in providing services in areas such as behaviour/emotional/communication issues, fatherhood, relationships and manhood. Having been a former elite athlete has given me insight into human potential, work-ethic, determination, success and failure. My journey as a psychologist stated with working in juvenile detention and progressed into private practice.
Services
I am a positive, empathetic, and collaborative clinician with a client-centred approach to psychological treatment, and passion for working with adult populations. My focus is on ensuring that any treatment is individualised to suit the client which is aimed to promote functional, psychological, and social independence for the individual within all aspects of their life.

We may at times feel broken, but we are not broken, it's just a feeling and we can bounce back emotionally, recover and restore our sense of self.

Recovery from mental health concerns, traumatic experiences and addiction. Achieving happiness and reaching potential.

Initial connection, relieve distress and enable coping. Rapport and trust building, confronting truth and fear, exploring discomfort and vulnerability. Committing to change.

Hopefully from the first appointment.....that's my aim

Therapy has allowed me to help more people by gaining a deeper understanding of a wide range of mood, personality and behavioural issues.
