Gestalt Psychotherapist/Counsellor
PACFA member no.10881

About me
I am a cat dad to two beautiful rescue kittens.  I grew up in the foothills of Boorloo/Perth and moved to Meanjin/Brisbane in 2016, which I now call my home. I also work as a student coach at QUT, helping students cope with procrastination and sustain motivation. Through my own personal therapeutic work, and witnessing the growth of my clients and support group participants, I know that recovery from our wounds is not only possible but absolutely worth it.

My Approach
I mainly use gestalt therapy principles in my approach as a therapist. The aim of gestalt therapy is to raise awareness of what you want, need, and long for. Together, we can experiment with ways to love all these parts of yourself, so you can integrate more self-loving ways of being in the world, have more satisfying life experiences, and deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and your communities.

I am also Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed and find a multi-mind or parts approach to be very supportive in therapy. I am also trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy and can use this approach if you agree it will be helpful.

I may support you with:

• Recovering from childhood sexual abuse and incest
• Living with climate change grief and anxiety
• Being queer, gay, and male
• Coping with family of origin neglect, estrangement, separation, and grief
• Shifting from shame to living authentically with dignity
• Moving from isolation and loneliness to self-compassion and connectedness
• Embracing the existential complexities of meaninglessness, isolation, self-responsibility, and death

My availability
I offer therapy sessions after 6pm on Tuesdays and Saturdays mornings.

Fees
To commit to keeping therapy fees low so that it is more accessible, I offer two rates:

• $150 per hour – Regular rate (for high income earners, you can pay it forward and pay above this rate to help me subsidize my services for people in financial hardship)
• $60 per hour – Financial Hardship Rate
