About me
I grew up in the foothills of Boorloo/Perth and moved to Magandjin/Brisbane in 2016, which I now call my home. Through my own personal therapeutic work, and witnessing the growth of the people who see me for therapy, I know that meeting life's challenges 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 will 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
Fees
I offer reduced rates of $60 per hour for people experiencing financial hardship. Please ask me in our session.
