About me

Hi, I’m Owen, a Senior Clinical Psychologist, couples therapist, and Board-Approved Supervisor here at Seed. I’ve worked with adults for over 10 years across a wide range of mental health settings, including private practice, psychiatric hospitals, and community organisations. I’ve also run hundreds of classes and workshops on topics like mindfulness, anxiety, and wellbeing, and continue to offer informal training for clinical psychology students. I support clients with concerns such as anxiety, OCD, stress, depression, and relationship challenges. I also have specialist training in couples therapy, and really enjoy helping people strengthen their relationships and communication.

How I will help you

I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and genuinely helpful. We’ll take time to understand what’s going on for you, both in the present and in your past, and tailor our work to suit your needs. I draw on evidence-based approaches, offering both insight and practical strategies to help you feel more confident, balanced, and connected in your life.

When I’m not working

I love staying active, right now that means lots of bike riding and squash. I also enjoy creative projects, running my business, and exploring new cultures whenever I get the chance.

Fostering resilience in Brunswick and beyond for over 16 years

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Our client care team will support you through every step of getting started. They’ll take the time to understand your needs and preferences, then thoughtfully match you with a psychologist whose approach and availability align with what you’re looking for.

When matching you with a Psychologist, we consider:
- The reason you’re seeking therapy
- Your availability and preferred session times
- Whether you’d like to attend in person or online
- The therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs
- Any other preferences you share with us
We understand that finding the right fit is important. Building a strong relationship with your psychologist can take time, but if at any point you feel the connection isn’t quite right, we’ll support you in transferring to someone new. Your well-being is always our priority.
Our experienced team of Psychologists offers warm, evidence-based support that’s collaborative, inclusive and grounded in genuine understanding. We provide individual, relationship or family therapy for a wide range of concerns. Additionally, we offer couples therapy, online therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Assessments), and workshops.
If you have extras cover, private health insurance may provide rebates. Check your individual policy for coverage and claiming options.
