What therapy looks like

Collaborative

I'm not the sort of expert who tells you what's wrong with you. You know your life better than I do. I know a few things about how people get stuck. We talk and we work out what’s going on together.

Reflective & Practical

I help you to slow down so that you can notice things you normally rush past. (Even if you sit still in a chair all day and stare at a wall, there are things your attention rushes past.)

From this slowed down place, I explore with you to find a new way to act. It’s usually something very small. That’s why it works. A meaningful small change makes a big different in your day-to-day life. Each session, you leave with something to think about and something to do.

FAQs

About Christopher

Hi. I'm a registered psychologist and psychotherapist based in Byron Bay, serving the Northern Rivers and beyond.

Experience

I’ve got 25 years clinical experience in a variety of contexts. The Buttery drug rehab, NSW Health, private practice. I 'm practical and down-to-earth. I've sat across from a lot of people in a lot of different settings, and that's shaped how I work.

Gestalt

My general therapeutic approach is Gestalt psychotherapy. This is a type of psychotherapy that supports you to relax into your innate spontaneity so that you feel fully engaged with yourself, others, and the world.

ACT

I sometimes teach the ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) model. This is a simple, practical model that helps you to make space for whatever it is that you happen to be feeling so that you can get on with living the life you want to live.
