You can contact me at [email protected] or 0430 622 909.
I see clients by Zoom or phone.
My fee for all services is $150 per session. Sessions are fifty minutes long. Payment is by bank deposit. There are no Medicare or private insurance rebates available for my service.
You are free to see me for a single session, or for short-term or longer-term work, at a frequency of your choosing. While I am happy to suggest a suitable frequency given your concerns, you will find me always very respectful and encouraging of your autonomy and preferences.
I work Mondays to Thursdays, 11AM - 9PM (Victorian time--please be mindful of time zones when booking).
If you would like to book a session and are contacting me by email or text, please mention some days and windows of time that work for you, and I will reply and offer a specific time within that. New clients fill out an online intake form which is emailed to them, and Zoom clients receive a link on the morning of the session.
I cannot see clients within the USA or Canada, due to insurance limitations.

Please note
Psychology, Psychiatry, and clinical mental health professions, are often very different to mainstream Counselling and Psychotherapy, and from Philosophical Counselling. It is important not to conflate them. If you need the following clinical services then you should seek out a Psychologist or Psychiatrist or the like, instead of me:
-Formal psychological assessments
-Psychiatric diagnoses
-Clinical treatments
-Management and assessment with regard to well-being, risk, and inter-service needs (you are not "in my care" in any clinical sense)
-The authoritative provision of reports or letters for third party use in, for example, medical systems, government bodies, employers, and legal contexts.
I do not provide any of the above services. Philosophical Counselling is, quite simply, very different to Psychology, Psychiatry, and associated clinical mental health services. Instead, I help people to cultivate their intellect and will, their wisdom and virtue, to transform themselves in ways that make their life better.
Whether to see me, or to seek out clinical mental health support from a psychologist or the like?
1) If you are struggling with the natural challenges of living such as grief, relationship problems, issues of purpose or direction, or if you have positive goals you want to work on, then you may be better off seeing soebody like myself.
2) If you are suffering from a distinctly psychiatric disorder, such as psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, a destructive addiction, an eating disorder, a personality disorder, and so on, or if you find that exploratory conversation can trigger you into a dangerous or harmful state, then you should seek a clinical professional such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, or a specialist in your problem.
3) If you are suffering a problem like depression or anxiety, which some people see as a natural challenge in living, and others see as a psychiatric disorder, then your choice will depend on that way of seeing. Of course, some people see both a clinical professional and myself, to deal with their issue from both angles: through clinical assessment and treatment with the Psychologist, and through insight and personal growth (wisdom and virtue) with me.
