Supporting Your Well-Being

Hi, I’m Ben, a Social Worker with the AASW and a passionate counsellor dedicated to supporting young people, men, and individuals facing mental health challenges. My journey into counselling started after years as a tradesperson, where I saw firsthand the struggles many people—especially men—face when it comes to opening up about their mental health. That experience, combined with my Bachelor of Human Services and Master of Social Work, has shaped the way I work; practical, down-to-earth, and solution-focused.

I specialise in working with adolescents, young adults, men, and the LGBTIQA+ community, helping clients navigate challenges like anxiety, stress, depression-like symptoms, relationships, work pressures, and addiction. I also support individuals with NDIS packages, offering both counselling and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching tailored to their goals.

My approach is client-centered and evidence-based, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Whether you're a young person struggling with identity, a man finding it hard to talk about what’s going on, or someone simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can be heard and supported.

I know that asking for help isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out, and let’s work together to build a way forward that works for you.
