Understanding what’s happening can be an important part of moving forward
Sometimes the reason for seeking psychological support is reasonably clear. At other times, mood, anxiety, attention, personality, coping, relationships, health, pain and pressures at work or home interact in ways that are harder to untangle.
Timothy combines careful psychological assessment with practical, evidence-based therapy. The aim is to develop a useful understanding of what is contributing to the problem, what may be maintaining it, and where change is likely to make a meaningful difference.
Private, Medicare, TAC, workers’ compensation and eligible employer-funded pathways are available, depending on your circumstances.

TIMOTHY’S APPROACH
Thoughtful assessment. Practical treatment.
Psychological therapy works best when it starts with a good understanding of the person rather than simply applying a technique to a diagnosis.
Timothy works collaboratively to understand the factors contributing to a difficulty and what may be keeping it going. Treatment can then focus on changes that are meaningful and useful in everyday life, including emotional wellbeing, relationships, health, work and participation.
His work draws on established psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and psychotherapy.
EXPERIENCE
Clinical experience across mental health, health, and work
Timothy has worked across public mental health, pain and health settings, private practice, academia, and workplace mental health and assessment.
That breadth is particularly relevant when difficulties do not fit neatly into one category, or where mental health is interacting with health, pain, injury, work or other important areas of life.
