Why are you a Child Psychologist?: Because life is wonderful but also very difficult at times. Through it all, people are amazing. Sometimes we just need another person to help us see the truth, wisdom and strength that are available to us but we can't quite see yet. I love being able to help in that process, especially with kids, teens and parents, because the changes we can make early on will last for a lifetime.

John founded the clinic in order to help people. Since 2004 we have been working with young people and families in greater Western Sydney for 21 years!

Starting out with just two small office rooms in a building on Bessemer Street, Blacktown.

Moving to our current clinic on Richmond Rd, Blacktown in 2009 and having grown from just two clinicians to a dynamic team of child psychologists, educational psychologists, mental health practitioners, and mental health social workers we can now help more people than ever.

Why are you a Child Psychologist?: I always knew I wanted to work in a profession that involved helping others. I picked working with children because having the opportunity to make a positive impact on their wellbeing while they are so young, sounds extremely meaningful to me. I deeply hope that the work I do with children will allow for them to reach their full potential so that they can do amazing things in life.

Why are you a Child Psychologist?:

I have 4 kids of my own and I enjoy connecting with them and seeing them learn, grow and change.

I am super excited to be working with kids and the opportunity to learn and grow in the field.
