About Me

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of holding Clinical and Senior Management roles in various psychiatric settings. Formerly, I served as the WA State Chair of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists, further deepening my commitment to the field. Beyond my professional endeavours, I'm also an adjunct research fellow at Curtin University and a board-approved supervisor. I can also proudly say that I am an advocate, person, director, clinical psychologist, friend, and leader with lived experience of ADHD.   

My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through various mental health challenges, including Personality Disorders, PTSD, complex trauma, and Adult ADHD. I integrate modalities like EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Gestalt practices into my work, anchored within a broader framework of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Collaborating with external stakeholders is also a key aspect of my practice, where I offer insights and support on trauma assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I have presented and delivered workshops on many topics, including schema therapy, adult ADHD, and complex trauma, and I have contributed as a guest on podcasts. 

My contributions extend beyond clinical practice. I've delved into research in the Neurosciences, Psychometric Assessment, and Schema Therapy. My doctoral work focused on refining the assessment of Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) and resulted in the development of the YSQ-R (Young Schema Questionnaire-Revised), which is gaining recognition internationally as a preferred tool for measuring EMS. 

In my spare time, you can find me on the rugby pitch, playing tennis, or catching up with friends and family over a good meal. I also enjoy golf; however, this is one area where I might need some therapy. I am also a doting father to my fur baby Hachi (he has his own profile on our website if you would like to meet him!)
