Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Telehealth available

I'm a Melbourne-based clinical psychologist offering Telehealth sessions across Australia and internationally. I specialise in depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, relationships, and male psychosexual and sexuality issues, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ clients using an identity-affirming approach.

I hold a doctorate from University College London (2003) and draw on a rich blend of therapeutic modalities: CBT, schema therapy, DBT, and ACT � a mindfulness-based approach centred on releasing unhelpful thoughts, sitting with difficult emotions, and reconnecting with personal values. I combine these with supportive counselling tailored to each client's needs.

Earlier in my career I worked in social work, HIV/AIDS and sexual health counselling, and clinical psychology across sexual health, adult mental health, forensics, and university settings in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.

New clients please book a 20-minute free initial discussion.
