Hi, I'm Tom - a Clinical Psychologist based on the Central Coast of NSW.

I work with people navigating some of the harder things life throws up: anxiety and trauma, depression, grief, health challenges and persistent pain, and work-related stress. I recognise that these problems can often feel overwhelming and exhausting - especially when life doesn’t slow down for anyone.

The biggest compliment I often receive is that I'm pretty relaxed to talk to. I’m a big believer that therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, and that includes humour when it fits.

I aim to keep my approach both compassionate and practical - I take the time to listen carefully and understand what's going on for you rather than jumping to solutions, and I draw on evidence-based methods (CBT, ACT, EMDR, and others), to ensure my clients receive support that makes a difference.

For those curious about my background - my accent quickly gives away that I’m a Kiwi. Growing up in rural New Zealand gave me a strong sense of why accessible, practical mental health care matters - and why it is essential that any support is right for you, rather than generic advice.

I trained at the University of Otago and have been working as a Clinical Psychologist on the Central Coast since 2019. I deliberately built broad clinical experience early in my career before specialising in the areas I'm most passionate about. I'm also a Board-Approved Supervisor and support other clinicians in developing their skills.

Outside of work, you’ll find me playing golf, running, at the gym, and, wherever possible, hiking somewhere with my camera to capture a good view.

Not sure if we're the right fit? That's exactly what the free 15-minute intro call is for - no pressure, no obligation, just a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how I work.
