Really understanding what’s going on for someone, treating their stories with respect, and taking a non-judgemental approach is at the core of my practice. 

Here at Resonate Psychology I am all about building quality connections with clients for change and growth. I value the importance of feeling understood and respected and the importance of building good professional connections to have a positive influence on mental health and performance.

I am informed about the neurobiology of psychotherapy. I use the understanding about what might be going on in our brains and bodies when we are experiencing stress, mental health challenges, or performance pressure, to explain mental health and performance in stories that resonate with you.

Hi, I'm Guy, and I work in the areas of high performance and mental health.

My approach to psychology and counselling has been heavily influenced by my understanding and research on therapeutic relationships; building good professional connections has positive influences on client outcomes. I like meeting people where they're at and working together to experience (whether thinking, feeling, or doing) something different. I am not one to recite or bore you with text-books answers - everyone is unique. In my work, I like to use research and knowledge about the brain and behaviour to inform what we do.

I'm experienced in a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT), neuropsychotherapy (using the knowledge of how the brain works in talking therapies), mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, and EMDR.

I’ve worked in a range of contexts and people (you can find out more about my experience here). I have worked with a range of adolescent and adult clients who experienced anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, career transitions…to name a few. As a performance psychologist, I have worked with executives, medical practitioners, performing artists, and elite athletes to develop and grow in their performances through both individual consultations and group workshops. In my career I have held positions at the AFL Players’ Association (where I provided players, coaches and club staff with mental health education) and at the Australian Institute of Sport (where I worked with athletes to manage their mental health in this high-performance context), and for 3 seasons (2022-2024) I was the performance psychologist for ACT Brumbies Super Rugby Squad. I am currently a provider in the AIS Mental Health Referral Network for elite athletes and high performance staff, as well as for the NRL, PFA, ACA.

If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd welcome the opportunity to work together.
