Trauma: To optimise our growth, it is essential that we learn about how we function and why. John well understands the range of impacts which our past experiences have on our present life. He helps clients to understand their trauma in a safe manner while helping them to develop practical skills to manage its present effects.

Relational matters: John has an intricate understanding of the ways in which we affect each other via our interactions, communication, gestures, and subtleties — much of which happens unconsciously. John is passionate about educating his clients in effective communication and conflict-resolution skills, as well as helping them to understand their motives and needs in relational contexts.

Habits: Constructive habits are an important basis for achieving what we want in life. In a range of different contexts, John educates his clients about how their thinking and behavioural habits impact their life, and how they can choose and practice the habits more aligned with their goals.

Men's mental health: Men continue to experience stigma and dismissal of their mental health concerns. John takes all clients' concerns in earnest. Rather than forcing clients to use a frame of reference that favours a given set of values, John helps each client to use their own virtues and perspective in the change process. He understands that sometimes, men seek a man's perspective, and John facilitates this in a non-judgmental manner.

Seniors' mental health: In years past, mental health was an issue less commonly addressed. As such, senior and elderly individuals are often forgotten in the campaign for mental health. John welcomes clients of all ages and has an affinity for working with senior clients. His approach helps them to understand themselves in a compassionate way and use their own values in achieving the change they desire.
