Philip is a registered psychologist at Sydney Integrative Psychology. His work covers many roles: Psychologist, Supervisor, Educator/Trainer. Since 1990 he has worked in the addiction, mental health and complex trauma fields providing psychological assessment and treatment. He is trained in and has a passion for creative and wholistic counselling methods including Gestalt, Hakomi, Sensorimotor and Trauma Model approaches for complex trauma recovery. He is a member of the Hakomi Australia Association, and the Australian Psychological Society.

I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 30yrs in a variety of agencies (sexual assault services, rape crisis services, victims of crime support services & women's health services) and private practice (11yrs in Sydney & 6yrs in Canberra). I have specialised in working with people who have histories of complex trauma, and trauma in adulthood. I also have expertise working with people adjusting to the demands of parenthood and/or wanting to process birth trauma, and those who struggle with PTSD following a single event trauma. Given the compelling research on the short and long-term effects of trauma and how it is held in the body I have pursued comprehensive training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) with the SP Institute, USA. I have also completed formal intensive training in Internal Family Systems (IFS Institute, USA) and Self-Psychology (ANZAP) both of which support my deep understanding of the unmet developmental needs resulting from trauma in childhood, and which offer effective ways of managing and transforming the same.
My ongoing dedication to supporting people’s recovery from complex trauma has its origins in the outset of my career as a psychotherapist in which people would present with the challenging legacies of childhood trauma including difficulty with trust in relationships, avoidance of intimacy, substance use, eating disorders, self-harming behaviours, suicidal ideation and workaholism. For many people these remained isolated behaviours by which the person had come to be defined by themselves and others. It is my professional experience that once people start to understand these survival resources through the lens of their abuse they can begin to walk the path toward self-trust and self-compassion. My commitment to attending ongoing evidence-based training is reflected in the range of therapeutic approaches I offer and I would welcome your questions about the same. Safety, pacing and the offer of choice are the principles of trauma-informed care which underpin all my work.
I am committed to ongoing mindful reflection of how my white privilege impacts on others. My professional work is informed by anti-oppression, and racial & social equity and justice.
I have lived and worked in Australia and overseas. I grew up in Sydney and later relocated to Canberra inspired by its proximity to nature and all that this has to offer. I have a passion for outdoor adventures and a lived experience of the benefits of movement and exercise on my own sense of well-being. I am a long-standing practitioner of yoga and an accredited mainstream yoga teacher. Combining my commitment to helping people to heal from trauma and my passion for yoga I have also obtained accreditation as a Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F), a yoga method developed by David Emerson & Dr Bessel van der Kolk of the Boston Trauma Centre for people with complex trauma histories.

I completed a Graduate Diploma of Counselling in 2001 at the Australian College of Applied Psychology then completed an Advanced Diploma of Learning Solutions in Hypnosis in 2016 at the Centre of Effective Therapy, now known as the Milton Erickson Institute of Tasmania. I completed a Mental Health Practitioner Course presented by the University of Canberra in 2012.
I registered a private counselling & hypnotherapy business in 2008 ABN 74 635 357 094 Trade name - Inspiring Pathways.
I became a registered nurse in 1970.
My experience of being with clients living with the effects of trauma is not easy to explain because I always focus on the individual and everyone is unique. I have listened & worked with children, families, couples & individuals who have experienced trauma in many ways & forms. I have no set of rules that I follow in counselling other than being there for the client.
