WELCOME

Hello, I’m Andrew, a Psychologist based in West Perth. My approach is practical and collaborative. I don’t believe therapy should be a vague conversation — it should give you clarity about what’s driving your difficulties and provide strategies that actually make a difference. I predominantly draw on Schema Therapy, as well as DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring therapy to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Why People Seek Therapy With Me
Clients often reach out when they:

• Feel weighed down by depression, low mood, or loss of motivation

• Experience anxiety, panic, or obsessive thoughts that interfere with life

• Carry the impact of trauma, PTSD, or painful past experiences

• Struggle with identity, personality-related challenges, or self-esteem

• Feel caught in unhelpful relationship patterns

• Experience overwhelming emotions

• Difficulty with chronic pain

• Seek support and strategies to help with their ADHD

Therapy provides a safe and structured space to make sense of these experiences, reduce their impact, and work towards healthier ways of coping.

How I Work

• Collaborative — therapy is a partnership. We’ll agree on goals together so sessions are purposeful.

• Evidence-Based — I integrate Schema Therapy, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness depending on your needs.

• Practical — therapy is not just about understanding but also building skills you can use day-to-day.

• Compassionate — you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and a genuine interest in helping you create change.

What Makes My Approach Different
While I draw on a range of therapies, I place strong emphasis on understanding the patterns that keep people stuck. Often, difficulties like anxiety or depression are only the surface expression of deeper experiences. Schema Therapy is particularly useful here — it helps us identify long-standing beliefs and coping styles that developed early in life, and then shift them toward healthier ways of responding.

By exploring these underlying patterns, therapy can move beyond short-term symptom relief and create more lasting change.

At the same time, therapy is always grounded in what matters most to you. Whether your focus is relief from distress, building stronger relationships, or developing more confidence in yourself, our work together will be tailored to your goals and what will make the greatest difference in your life.

Inclusive & Trauma-Informed Practice
I provide trauma-informed, attachment-focused care. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse affirmative. Whoever you are and whatever you bring to therapy, you will be met with respect, care, and understanding.
