Psychologist

“Psychologist that works with healing anxiety, depression recovery, adjustment, overcoming sexual issues and pornography addiction”

About Me

I am a psychologist in Brighton, Victoria, Australia. I work with you through addiction, mood disorders, major life transitions, stress and burnout, and personal development. I provide counseling, CBT, psychoeducation and relationship counseling in clear, skills-based sessions.

Approach

Healing anxiety and finding steadiness after mood shifts often looks like small, practical steps taken together each week. In my Brighton practice and via secure online sessions in English, I keep pace with your goals through focused skills work, gentle behavioural experiments, and clear psychoeducation between meetings so progress is trackable. Sessions are collaborative and structured but adaptable—short-term strategies sit alongside exploring patterns that fuel shame or avoidance. People ready for practical, honest change tend to find this approach helpful.
