Hi, I'm Guy, and I'm the principal psychologist at Resonate Psychology. 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). I am currently a provider in the AIS Mental Health Referral Network for elite athletes and high performance staff, and since the start of the 2022 Super Rugby Season, I have been the performance psychologist for ACT Brumbies Super Rugby Squad.

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