Beyond Active Therapy
Located in the Sydney, Newcastle, and Greater Hunter Valley Region, I bring over 9 years of experience counselling families, couples, and individuals. Through Beyond Active Therapy, I offer a compassionate, practical approach to help clients navigate life’s challenges and rebuild purpose and fulfillment.
Specialising in adjustment to change, stress management, addiction recovery, and relationship counselling, I combine my personal experiences with professional expertise. I integrate evidence-based techniques in counselling and coaching with a client-centered approach.
Drawing from my own journey of overcoming adversity. Being a father, step-father and now a proud grandparent I have learned valuable lessons in family dynamics and skills to navigate these complexities. I deeply understand life transitions and challenges such as relationship breakdowns, mental health struggles, and career shifts. I am passionate about developing an empathetic, solution-focused approach for people to foster a safe space and explore their thoughts and emotions while building resilience and actionable steps for growth.
I also provide tailored support for ADHD management, anxiety, depression, financial struggles, grief, life after divorce, loss, relationship counselling and workplace stress. I am a firm believer in a holistic approach and I offer spiritual integration as part of the therapeutic process.
