our deepest fear
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of the universe that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

My Story
I have been practicing NLP for 27 years in various landscapes and environments.
In the early 2000’s I independently owned and operated a consultation/psychotherapy clinic in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
From 2010 – 2023 I used NLP in a sports coaching setting teaching Kung Fu and BJJ to adults and children.
I have worked a great deal in the disabilities support sector over the years and more recently in acute and sub-acute mental health environments in a Correctional Centre setting and I volunteer as a youth mentor at Sydney high schools.
My education is in NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), Traditional Chinese Massage and Sports Coaching (specialising in martial arts).
Qualifications include:
-
NLP & Hypnosis Practitioner
-
NLP & Hypnosis Master Practitioner
-
NLP Life Coaching
-
NLP Psychotherapy
-
Medical Hypnosis
-
Diploma in Sports Coaching
-
Traditional Chinese Acupressure Massage
My main therapeutic methods are NLP alongside some hypnosis and - with a background in the Traditional Chinese diagnostic model - I use a conceptual and holistic approach to therapy.
I believe in the right of autonomy and independence.
I have always been drawn to helping people and have always been curious about how people have overcome significant life challenges.
In my teens I experienced chronic depression and dabbled with self medication which lead to substance abuse, then addiction.
In 1999, during my journey of overcoming addiction and depression I discovered NLP.
NLP changed my life and I wanted to help others experience such changes of their own.
I went on to study NLP in various layers and levels with Australia’s renowned NLP Master Trainer and therapist Robb Whitewood (whom we sadly lost in 2017).
Robb had decades of NLP therapeutic and coaching experience, a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a strong connection to Taoism and an internal moral compass like none other.
If I can do a fraction of what he did for the people he helped I will be happy.
Do you want someone with an honest and straight forward approach? Someone who can both confront you with truth and help you overcome your challenges?
I have experience navigating and treating substance abuse, depression, anxiety, toxic and dangerous relationships, PTSD/CPTSD and anger.
I also have decades of first hand experience maintaining diet and training regimes and more recently competing as an amateur athlete.
I have a unique set of life experiences and education that can truly help you overcome your obstacles in ways that are best for you.
