About Alec

I’m a registered psychologist with experience across both clinical and organisational settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, and life transitions. Having worked in both private and bulk billing settings, I have supported clients with a wide variety of things. I offer evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I also provide thorough assessments, case formulations, and collaborative treatment plans to support lasting change. My work is grounded in the understanding that psychological distress does not occur in isolation — it emerges in response to pressure, expectations, and environments that ask more than a person can reasonably give. Before moving into clinical practice, I worked as a consultant in Big Four and boutique firms, helping leaders and teams improve wellbeing, leadership, and workforce capability. This background gives me a deep understanding of high-pressure environments and the challenges professionals face — insights I bring into every session.
