About
My Story
My interest in working with men comes from being one. A man whose learned some hard life lessons along the way. My cherished illusions of having the perfect nuclear family living happily ever after in a dream home I was building for us spectacularly imploded over a decade ago just weeks before I finished the house.
The fallout from that devastating event forced me on a long, hard journey of disappointment, grief and re-discovery, a path I’m still walking.
I’ve spent the last ten years studying, reading, in therapy, men’s groups, and re-learning much of what I thought I knew as a younger man.
Men
My interest in working with men comes from being one. A man whose learned some hard life lessons along the way. My cherished illusions of having the perfect nuclear family living happily ever after in a dream home I was building for us spectacularly imploded over a decade ago just weeks before I finished the house.
The fallout from that devastating event forced me on a long, hard journey of disappointment, grief and re-discovery, a path I’m still walking. I’ve spent the last ten years studying, reading, in therapy, men’s groups, and re-learning much of what I thought I knew as a younger man. My goal these days is to help men whose lives have taken a turn for the worse to rebuild their lives by rebuilding themselves.
To help that happen, I’ve helped run and facilitate a weekly men’s group in the northern rivers of NSW for the last several years.
Screen Addictions
My interest in helping support those with screen addictions comes from being a father of two screen addicted teenagers, as well as having been a high school teacher for over twenty years, and witnessing first hand the changes, not always for the better, that the introduction of this radical new technology has had on all of us, but particularly on our younger generations. I started teaching last century in the pre-phone era and stepped back from teaching in a device saturated environment whose affects on mental health were devestatingly felt first hand when my beloved teenage daughter nearly died from an eating disorder fuelled in large part by the screen.
My goal is to help people to reduce their screen use so they can get back in touch with themselves, their loved ones and the natural world.
Eco-Grief/Anxiety/
Depression
My passion for helping those struggling with eco-grief/eco-anxiety comes from a mixture of personal and professional life experiences. I have a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations and History, which has helped me understand where the world has been, as well as a Master’s degree in Sustainability Studies, which helps me make sense of where the world is headed.
Along the way, I’ve travelled, lived and worked on all seven continents. While working for longer periods in both Antarctica and Alaska, I’ve seen the glaciers melting rapidly firsthand. While living along a creek in the green hills now through floods and fires, I’ve experienced the extreme changes firsthand. My goal is to help people navigate their feelings of fear and overwhelm in the face of our climate and eco-crisis.
