Meet Ross

General Psychologist

Ross has over 27 years experience as a Psychologist, across a number of industries, in both the public and private sectors.

Areas he provides psychological intervention and support for include: depression, anxiety, phobias, work-related stress, post-traumatic stress, autism, ADHD, substance abuse, addictions, sleep disorders, workplace conflict, relationship difficulties, financial difficulties, grief/loss, pain management, vocational guidance, and parenting difficulties, to name a few.

He is a compassionate, caring and committed professional, recognised for his ability to provide high quality, evidence-based psychological services to individuals, families and organisations, that make a difference.

His approach to helping people through psychological difficulties is based on the idea that a special form of human interaction will increase self-knowledge, develop emotional skills and activate latent potential. He aims to identify unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling and relating that reinforce negative emotion and destructive behaviour.

His style is directed, thoughtful and collaborative. The process of being understood, of learning about the various ways your mind works and of developing a new repertoire of psychological skills will open up new avenues for growth and engagement in your life’s pursuits.

Ross believes therapy should not be a mysterious or confusing process. That it should be linked to concrete goals and measurable progress.
