About me
Hi, I’m Joshua — a psychologist with a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy. I’ve had the privilege of working with people across the lifespan, both in-person and via Telehealth, including within family systems and rural communities. I believe that each person brings their own wisdom and strengths to therapy, and I’m here to walk alongside you as we make sense of your experiences together. I place strong emphasis on building a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, because real change begins with feeling understood and supported.
How I will help you
I tailor each session to suit your unique needs and goals, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches including Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, Autism, or interpersonal challenges, we’ll work together to build insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful skills for growth. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, better understand yourself, and support you in creating lasting change from a place of self-compassion.
When I’m not working
You’ll likely find me running long distances, enjoying a big bowl of pasta, or listening to music. My favourite band right now is The Belair Lip Bombs!

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.
