About me

My practice
I am dedicated to supporting you as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit. As an Ordained Priest in the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, with extensive experience, I integrate evidence-based therapies with a deeply human, compassionate approach. My work is grounded in respect, safety, and cultural awareness that creates a space for healing and lasting transformation.
Guided by professional therapeutic care and a holistic understanding of wellness, Joseph Counselling and Psychotherapy exists to create a compassionate and inclusive space, where individuals can explore, heal, and grow. Our vision is to create a place where individual, family, and community mental health care and emotional wellness are nurtured with understanding and compassion and where every person feels empowered to live with purpose, meaning, and hope.
