Bio

Professional

My background is in ministry; I trained for pastoral ministry in the 1980s and ended up as senior pastor of a multi-staff church in suburban Brisbane in the first decade of this century. I burned out in that role which made me look at what’s going on inside me. This resulted in me completing a Masters in Counselling in 2012. I have experience working in several private practices and established my own in 2013.

As well as working in private practice, I am Ambassador of the Centre for Men and Families Australia (www.cfma.org.au).

I am a clinical member of The Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA) and a member of CCAA.

I am an Accredited Professional Supervisor (PACFA).

I have done specialised training in a very powerful trauma therapy (The Richards Trauma Process), neuropsychotherapy, in relationship counselling and working with men.

Personal

I have been married to Judy for over 35 years and have three adult sons, two daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
