Registered Psychologist, Master of Counselling Psychology
Ben is a passionate clinician with a warm, person-centred style and seeks to create a safe and non-judgemental space for his clients. He believes strongly in the power of therapy and in people’s abilities to heal, grow, change, and succeed.

Ben has experience working therapeutically with a wide range of clients in the community from a variety of backgrounds. Ben has previously worked for a number of years as a Senior Psychologist in the justice system. This has involved providing therapeutic rehabilitative services to offenders in Western Australian prisons and the community, and clinical supervision to practitioners working within the justice system.

Ben works with clients using a psychological counselling approach tailored to each individual’s needs. He uses cognitive behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy, schema therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as motivational interviewing and solution focused techniques to assist clients in their lives.

Ben can provide shorter-term brief therapy focused on outcomes, or engage in long-term therapy, depending on clients’ needs and goals.

Ben works with individuals from the age of 16 + years, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of issues including;

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Grief and loss
  • Addictions (substance use, gambling etc.)
  • Problem behaviours
  • Offending behaviour (male/female, all offence categories and risk levels)
  • Interpersonal challenges
