Philosophy & Vision
Life can be difficult, it is for all of us sometimes! I just turned 40 so I am dealing with all the transitions that come with that. If you're struggling with anxiety, thoughts that won't let you go, relationship challenges, or self-doubt, this happens to all of us as life puts pressure on us. Luckily, there is plenty of evidence for effective ways to get a handle on these issues. My clients describe me as calming and practical, so we can work through these issues at your pace.
Background
I have experience providing psychological support to individuals with including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal ideation and self-harm, trauma, eating disorders, motivation, identity, and social skills. This would also often involve families and understanding why the dynamics were struggling with connection.
Services
For individuals, I use methods to build resilience to any difficult thoughts or feelings, get them out in the open, make sense of them, and then build practical methods to manage them. For couples, we unpack how you operate together, what you bring the relationship individually and why there are challenges to your connection.

Therapy Approach
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility—learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action in line with their values. CBT supports skill-building and practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Together, these approaches help clients create lasting change, with a focus on insight, emotional resilience, and purposeful living.

A conversation with Travis Grogan

I think that "helping others" is a great motivator for an occupation. Although I only help in a very small way, there is never a day when I think my day has been a waste. (I previously worked in a bank and I thought/felt this way often). There are many ways to help obviously, but this one works for me.
-
I have been mostly influenced by stoicism and humanistic psychology, I find the development of people's lives a worthwhile pursuit.
-
I like to see how adaptable people are, as they progressively build skills to manage their world, then use those skills to expand their world, which then needs new skills. Watching this process in action is one of my favourite parts of the job.
-
I mainly use ACT and CBT. The are both broadly about changing our relationship with the way we think and feel.
-
I like to notice and recognise the changes people are making, even small changes like greater understanding of their behaviour and it's impacts.
-
I test out every intervention on myself first (my wife gets frustrated when I practice communication skills with her :)).
-
Adding something of value to a person's life that can have large positive effects. I think therapy has high "pay it forward" value.

Occasionally (but I keep my hair short so it's fairly simple). Most recently, I had a bad hair day for my wedding (a few months back). I normally cut my own hair (short back and sides) but for my wedding cut, I got it professionally done, and it was a nightmare.

Big question. For me, we are building a world where consumption volume is aggressively high. In that pursuit, we are struggling to dedicate significant time to what helps humans feel good and think well. Despite many technological advancements in the last 100 years, we have not earned more time, so we have little time for the things that make us feel whole, full, and settled.

I really liked the movie "Perfect Days" by Wim Wenders. It says to me "there is beauty in the world no matter what, provided we learn how to see it".
