About Me
A husband & father of 4 young adults - a blended family. I've navigated separation & divorce, redundancy & career change and anxiety & depression, so I have personal experience in most of the major issues that cause upheaval.
​
As well as being a trained counsellor I have business, finance & ministry qualifications. I love sports and the outdoors. I'm widely experienced.
​
And most people say "you're so easy to talk to".
​
If I had to narrow down my field of expertise it would be "carefully listening, to support, educate & equip you, so you can think more clearly & make healthier choices - with a strong focus on emotional regulation".
I think holistically. Will not label. Will not judge. Will not breach confidence.
I'm doing what I was born to do.

Specializing in Treatment for Emotional Issues & Equipping for Better Life Outcomes
Anxiety
Being anxious from time to time is normal. Being anxious all the time suggests a deeper problem. Either way, talking about your anxieties is the first step to becoming free from them. And there's strategies to employ to equip you to grow beyond your anxieties. Keen to hear about them? Let's talk!
Family
Family can be tough! Not enough family can be tough. Too much family can be ... tough. Outside infleunces may require healthy boundaries. Inside influences may require some changed behaviour. What's your story. Would you like to talk about it?
Depression
There's medication for depression, which can be helpful. But medication is only one treatment option and for most, should not be an ongoing requirement. Depression is often linked to hopelessness, frustration, or anger. Depression can be circumstantial, or seasonal. So why don't we talk about your options.
Career
We spend so much of our lifetime working that we really need to get this right. Is your career on the right track? Or should we talk about what's happened or what's going on? Finding a safe, confidential space to talk about it can really help.
Anger
Most people think Anger is bad. It certainly gets a bad rap! But in fact, anger can be channelled for positive change. Only anger that's directed towards harm is actually bad. And unresolved anger .. well it will harm YOU. I'll often say "If you don't deal with your anger, your anger will deal with you!". Have you forgiven that person? Really? Should we talk?
Money
Can't live with it. Can't live without it. Do you need help with a budget, a habit, a spouse, a partner, a bad decision? 20 years in Banking and I know some stuff. Should we talk ?
