“Brendan has been working as a Psychologist for over 10 years and offers counselling to adults, adolescents and children.”
About Me
I am a registered psychologist in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia. I provide relationship counseling, stress and burnout treatment, and advocacy in confidential counseling sessions. I offer clear, practical tools to improve communication and reduce overwhelm.
Approach
After more than ten years working with people across ages, my approach is practical, steady and tailored to how you show up. In Lismore or via secure online sessions in English I create a calm structure—brief check-ins, clear priorities and supportive advocacy when situations require it. We use straightforward communication practices, problem-focused planning and coaching tasks between appointments to reduce overwhelm and rebuild connection. This way of working suits people seeking direct, achievable change without jargon.
