Description

Depression. Anxiety. Grief and loss. Relationship conflict. Indecision. Stress. Addiction and impulsive behaviour. Overwork. Loss of direction or motivation. Low self-esteem or confidence. These can all interfere with living the life you were meant to have.

Counselling can help you find your way through these challenges. I am a counselling psychologist experienced in helping people deal with and overcome all of these difficulties. To find out more about how I may be able to help you, click on one of the links below, or click on the “Services” menu above right.

Is counselling effective? Yes, over 80% of people who see a counsellor experience improvement, and generally fewer than 10% will be worse off after counselling. I measure my effectiveness with each client and publish the aggregate effectiveness.

How do you work? I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT – see more on my website), but also use other approaches at times, including client-centred counselling, solution-oriented counselling, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, behavioral activation and motivational interviewing.

How much does it cost? My fee is $*** for a 50 minute session. The Australian Psychological Society’s recommended fee is $***.

How long does it take? That depends on many factors. Most people who see me obtain significant benefit by around 6-10 sessions. The average client who achieves any improvement with me completes therapy in nine sessions. Some issues of course will take considerably longer.
