Trauma & Men's Mental Health
Available Australia-Wide via Telehealth
Practical, relational therapy for meaningful change.
You may have just been pushing through - feeling on edge, burnt out, or affected by things that haven’t fully settled.
This is a space to make sense of it and start to move forward.
I’m a Melbourne-based psychologist, working mainly online with people across Australia.
You might be here because:
-
You’ve been pushing through and feel constantly on edge
-
You feel stuck in the same patterns, especially in relationships
-
Something from the past still affects you
-
You’ve tried therapy before but didn’t feel properly heard
-
You want something more thoughtful - not pushed into a solution
-
You’ve noticed tension or shutdown in your body, but aren’t sure why
If some of this resonates, you don’t have to keep working it out on your own.
Therapy doesn’t have to mean being pushed into solutions before things are fully understood.
My approach is conversational and collaborative. We take time to make sense of what’s going on, while also helping you build ways of coping better in your day-to-day life. That might include small, practical shifts that build over time, learning how to steady yourself when things feel overwhelming, and making clearer sense of your reactions, triggers, and how experiences show up in your body.
Where it fits, we can also draw on approaches like EMDR to help process experiences that haven’t fully settled.
I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

A short, free consult gives us a chance to briefly talk through what’s bringing you here, and for you to get a feel for how I work.
There’s no pressure to commit, its just a conversation to see if this feels like the right fit.
In this call we can:

Talk through what’s been going on for you
