Clinic Specialties

Anxiety

Anxiety management is essential for leading a balanced and fulfilling life. Developing practical coping skills can significantly reduce stress levels, leading to improved focus and productivity. Through personalised strategies and support, you can learn to navigate anxiety, boost mental clarity, and achieve a more peaceful and productive life.

Depression

Whether depression is constant or seasonal, I aim to uncover the underlying issues and work with you to create a personalised plan. Together, we'll develop coping skills to reduce symptoms and enhance overall mental health.

Porn Addiction

Receive expert help in breaking free from addictive behaviours such as porn addictions that negatively impact relationships and daily functioning. We work together to recognise the problematic pattern of porn addiction and then address underlying issues, rebuild relationships and shift the focus to something else to promote a fulfilling life.

Borderline Personality Disorder

BPD presents itself in many different ways in young adults and requires emotionally focused therapy sessions that focus on creating coping skills to navigate the highs and lows. Our sessions focus on fostering personal growth and emotional regulation. Treatment often includes cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).

Relationships

From family troubles to commitment concerns, I am experienced in addressing various mental health challenges related to relationships. I offer empathetic listening and guidance to help navigate the difficulties of relationship and life transitions.

Psychosis/Schizophrenia

Psychosis is a debilitating disorder that, when not addressed, can cause further mental damage. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is often used in this situation to create a variety of coping skills to help those with the disorder to manage difficult situations.

Stress

Much like anxiety, stress can present itself in multiple ways that impact the everyday lives of those experiencing it. Stress needs to be managed to increase personal well-being and live a more fulfilling life. Using a therapeutic approach to address stress levels has proven to be an effective method of reducing symptoms of stress.

PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder focuses on overcoming traumatic memories and developing a natural resilience towards the disordered topic. We develop coping mechanisms using various methods during our psychology sessions and commonly use acceptance and commitment therapy with PTSD clients.

Phobias

Therapy sessions work to reduce anxiety and fear responses, improve coping strategies, and increase the ability to confront and manage feared situations. Clients who develop practical coping skills may experience increased confidence and a more fulfilling engagement with previously avoided activities.

Men's Counselling

Enter a therapeutic relationship that aims to break the stigma surrounding men's mental health. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental listening, with a special focus on supporting men's mental health needs. For those new to treatment, I provide a flexible, understanding approach to help them navigate their journey.

DVA/Military

I have a background in the Royal Australian Air Force and a deep understanding of the struggles and challenges that come with military life. I am dedicated to addressing the mental health issues that can arise due to the nature of the job, and I use multiple therapy approaches to improve the well-being of ex-military personnel.
