About Me

I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Family Therapist with broad experience working with individuals, groups and organisations in both the public and private health systems. I have been in practice since 1990 and work with adults, adolescents and children. Treatment is purposeful and is targeted through assessment and goal focused processes in both brief intervention and long-term psychotherapy models.

I am currently working in my  private practice, Aurora Associates, where I see a range of clients: individuals, couples, families and children, whose therapy requirements range from long term psychotherapy, to short term, brief intervention counselling.

Supervision Consultancy Services

Colin has provided individual and group supervision for many years. He believes that supervision can be of benefit across all work environments including counsellors, therapists, teams, doctors, medical professionals, facilitators, managers, and especially for front-line administration personnel in services such as healthcare, education, community work and police.

Supervision with Colin will:

• Provide a structured relationship to reflect critically on your work in order to grow as a person, practitioner and professional.
• Provide a forum to reflect on your internal processes and specific thoughts and feelings and actions during your work and how it impacts on the client group.
• Create a context for reflection and learning from your own professional and personal experience.
• Help you grapple with inconsistencies in terms of management styles, and understand systemic and psychodynamic processes that hinder or assist the work being done no matter your work environment/culture.
• Provide a space to reflect on and celebrate the wins, positives and successful outcomes achieved. Insight gained is as much about celebrating the wins as wrestling with conflicts.
