What Phil helps with

Individual Psychological Therapy

Personalised therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, OCD and other mental health challenges using evidence-based techniques including EMDR, ACT, CBT and Schema Therapy.

Group Therapy

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Couples Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Family Therapy

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

Neurofeedback

A non-invasive therapy that trains brainwave activity using real-time feedback to help improve attention, emotional regulation and sleep. It is used for ADHD, anxiety, trauma and a range of neurological and developmental conditions.

ADHD Assessments

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Autism Assessments

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

Cognitive Assessments (WAIS & WISC)

IQ and cognitive testing using standardised assessment tools.

Educational Assessments

A standardised assessment of thinking, learning and memory abilities administered by a psychologist. Results identify a person's cognitive profile, highlight strengths and areas of difficulty, and inform recommendations for school support, therapy and NDIS access.

Forensic Psychology

Expert court reports and evaluations for family court, criminal matters, child custody, pre-sentence reports and criminal injury compensation.

Threat Assessments

Comprehensive threat assessments for corporations and high-profile figures.

Telehealth Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Professional Supervision

In-house Training

Customised training programs for organisations delivered by experienced practitioners.
