He completed his PhD at UNSW/Black Dog Institute based on the trial of the world’s first app for suicide prevention (ibobbly) and is a member of the Reachout.com Clinical Advisory Group.

He takes a practical, solution-focused approach to help people learn about what is most important to them (values) and how to deal with the challenges that life brings for us all. He utilises a range of therapeutic techniques depending on the client’s needs however does enjoy the value-based work and mindfulness teachings within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
