I call my consultation room ‘the quiet room.’ It is where I conduct one on one sessions. If you can’t make it in person and have a comfortable chair in a quiet space, then you can connect with me worldwide via Zoom. We could even use the good ol’ telephone!

Hypnotherapy

Psychotherapy
I use psychological methods rather than medical or pharmaceutical ‘bandaid’ treatments for mental disorder. I have created a simple mindfulness based therapy called RAG Therapy. (Resistance, Acceptance & Gratitude) As the name suggests, it is a process of recognising resistance, applying acceptance and going to gratitude to create new pathways in our minds. We use ‘RAG’ to wipe our minds clean from thought! Book Now
Sound Therapy
My wife, Maureen and I have opened a Sound Therapy room in Hervey Bay, Queensland. More info: saffronsounds.com.au
Spiritual Healing
I see myself as a modern day Shaman. Shamanism pre-dates all religions, the original meaning of the word shaman is ‘one who knows’. I went through many trials to finally come to the realisation that I have a gift that enables me to be a bridge between the shamanic world and the modern world. I have successfully worked with people who have been incorrectly diagnosed with mental ‘illness’. Please feel welcome to contact me about spiritual crisis or emergency. Book Now

People naturally come up with all sorts of reasons as to why therapy won’t or can’t work for them. For example: I’ve tried before, I can’t do it, it’s too hard, this is bullshit, I’ve always been this way, this is who I am, I’m too depressed, I’m too anxious, I’m an addict, I’ve been diagnosed with X, my life is Y, other people are Z, I’m too A, I’m not B enough, therapy is useless, it won’t work, you can’t help me because of CDE, I have disorder FGH, I’ve got no motivation (or energy, or willpower, or discipline), I’ve got an addictive personality, I’ve been permanently damaged by IJK and can never recover, etc. etc.
These type of thoughts are your mind trying to look after you, trying to do you a favour. Your mind is trying to save you from something that might fail or go wrong or be unpleasant. What your mind is actually saying is: ‘Are you sure you want to do this? You might be just wasting your time, money and energy. This might even make things worse!’ And you know, the truth is, there’s probably nothing I can say that will stop your mind from doing that. It’s just doing its job – trying to protect you.
There’s a part of me that really wants to reassure you; to say, ‘This will work for you!’ But the truth is, I can’t guarantee that it will work, and if you ever go to any type of therapist who guarantees ‘This will work!’ – my advice would be, don’t go back – because they are either lying or deluded. The fact is – no one can ever guarantee that! But there are two things I will guarantee. I guarantee that I’ll do my very best to show you the way by giving you the right tools. It is then up to you! I also guarantee, if we give up because your mind has doubts, we won’t get anywhere. So even though your mind will keep coming up with reasons as to why this can’t or won’t work for you – can we go ahead anyway?
