I’m a counsellor offering therapy in Lawson in the Blue Mountains and through online sessions Australia-wide. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy and support groups for men in the Blue Mountains. I trained in couples therapy in the 1980s through Interrelate, which provides training, counselling and relationship support services to individuals, couples, families and communities. I hold postgraduate qualifications in psychology, psychotherapy and (body-based) somatic therapy.
I’m registered with the Australian Counselling Association and specialise in trauma and PTSD counselling, grief and loss counselling, anticipatory grief, somatic therapy, life transitions, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-worth, stress and burnout, purposeful living, emotional intelligence, intimacy and relationship issues, developing healthy patterns of relating, and strengthening communication.
