Hi, my name is Charles. I’m a psychotherapist and counsellor with 20 years experience in supporting individuals and couples to live more fully and authentically. I have a private practice in Penrith NSW. I originally trained as a social worker at UNSW where I received a bachelor of Social Work (Hons) before gaining my Master’s in Counselling at Western Sydney University.
“Authentic people possess a number of common characteristics that show they are psychologically mature and fully functioning as human beings. They… Have realistic perceptions of reality; Are accepting of themselves and of other people; Are thoughtful. Have a non-hostile sense of humour; Are able to express their emotions freely and clearly; Are open to learning from their mistakes; Understand their motivations.”
– Stephen Joseph, Ph.D
I have completed Level 2 Training in the Gottman Method Relationship Therapy and I use this method in my work with relationships.
I have extensive experience working with sexual and gender diverse clients.
I am pluralistic in my practice with a primary existential-analytic orientation that focus on meaning, spirituality and other existential issues. I also have training in person-centred and experiential therapy. I incorporate these theories into a relational-psychotherapy practice. I use CBT and mindfullness to support clients who seek to manage their symptoms of mental illnesses and emotional distress. All my work is based on developing a trusting and professional therapeutic relationship within an open and conversational style through which safety for the client is established and which can then act as a microcosm of what occurs in the rest of the client’s world.
