A Few Things About Me
1.
I moved to Perth recently and I'm still finding my way around. The beaches here are extraordinary and the sunshine is inexplicably delightful.
2.
I have a cat named Winston who operates on his own schedule, has never once respected a boundary, and always knows when it's lap time (aka any time I need to get up).
3.
Teaching has always been part of my identity. I spent a decade as a university Adjunct Teaching Fellow and I still get a particular satisfaction from a well-explained idea landing.
4.
I came to Stoic philosophy through clinical work and personal life. Marcus Aurelius and Seneca turn up in my sessions more often than many textbooks do.
5.
I've appeared on national television more times than I expected, talking about everything from anxiety and burnout to time blindness, AI, and what rest actually means.
The Work
There's a particular kind of conversation I return to, again and again. The leader who has built something impressive but feels quietly disconnected from it. The professional performing well while running on empty. The person who knows exactly what they value but cannot seem to live accordingly.
That gap is where my work lives.
I've spent over a decade working at the intersection of clinical practice, education, and public conversation. I see adult clients via telehealth across Australia, consult with organisations on psychological safety and workforce wellbeing, and speak at conferences and corporate events on mental health, leadership, and the examined life.
My approach draws on clinical psychology, Stoic philosophy, and contemporary neuroscience.
I bring clinical depth to corporate conversations and practical rigour to personal change.
