I am a qualified counsellor specialising in male mental health and eco-anxiety. With a strong background in conflict resolution. I take a holistic, client-centred approach to help individuals of all ages cultivate resilience, find balance, and reconnect with a sense of confidence. I help men and young men to address emotional well-being in a society that often discourages vulnerability. With a focus in eco-anxiety, I work with clients to navigate the emotional impact of climate change and ecological issues, holding space for individuals to process feelings of fear, grief, and helplessness related to the environment and community, fostering hope, resilience, and agency. My professional journey brings wide-ranging experience in diverse workplaces and communities in Australia and overseas. Originally a fish farmer, I then spent many years with multi-national corporations, followed by work in small business and university. Underpinning these experiences is a deep spiritual connection to nature and the wilder places in the world.

Why the Spoony community matters to me

Our society is complicated enough, we now have the added pressures of living in an era of increasing environmental uncertainty. This is especially the case for the Spoony community.
