About Me

I am an empathetic counsellor, passionate about supporting individuals living with epilepsy, as well as their families and carers. I have lived with epilepsy since childhood, and I am a husband and father.

 

I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association (M.A.C.A) and hold a Diploma of Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professonal Counsellors. Prior to becoming a registered counsellor, I enjoyed over 20 years of self-employment in the property and construction industries. 

​​​I offer NDIS (self-managed and plan-manged plans only) and private counselling services and psychosocial supports online Australia-wide and via a mobile service to clients on the Gold Coast.

 

If you are interested in becoming a new client, please connect via the footer submission below to arrange an initial 15 minute no-obligation free consultation via a secure and confidential online meeting

I will reply within 48 hours to arrange a mutually convenient time for the consultation, and email you an Intake Form for you to complete and return prior to our consultation.   

 

This initial introduction will allow us to get to know each other, understand your concerns, explain my approach and the counselling process, answer any questions you may have, helping you to decide if you would like to contract my services.
