HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

Just like a workout or sports massage you need to sometimes face a little discomfort before you see the therapeutic benefits. The difference is you just have to be ready and open for change.

 

As a psychologist and therapist, my main approach is predominantly an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and mindfulness approach, working on issues including:

 

  • Depression

  • Anxiety (generalised & social)

  • Stress Management

  • Anger Management

  • Men’s health (emotion regulation and identity) 

  • Grief and loss

  • Addiction/Drug and alcohol abuse

  • Eating disorders/Weight loss management

  • Low self-esteem

  • Panic attacks & Panic disorder

  • Relationship counselling

  • Divorce and Separation

  • Trauma and Post-traumatic stress disorder

  • Work related stress

 

Currently I work with clients of all ages, gender and backgrounds. My ideal, and most successful clients, are those that want to investigate who they truly are as a person in order to function and thrive in the world in the face of their adversity.

"IMAGINE A WORKOUT OR SPORTS MASSAGE.

SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT NEED TO FACE A LITTLE DISCOMFORT BEFORE YOU SEE REAL RESULTS"

MY STORY

MICHAEL CHARLES

MICHAEL CHARLES PSYCHOLOGIST N.jpg

I am a registered psychologist and have been in private clinical practice in East Sydney for the last decade.

 

My journey began studying organisational psychology specialising in positive psychology, wellness and resilience in the workplace.

 

Whilst completing my postgraduate training I worked clinically with drug and alcohol addictions.

New York then beckoned and for 2 years I interned at New York University (NYU) as a psychology research associate researching motivation, barriers to action, perception of risk and coping strategies.

 

I am also particularly passionate about men's mental health.

I have several years of facilitating and coaching men’s groups. They are effective support mechanisms to enable men to feel empowered while connecting to and managing their emotions.

 

Apart from running my practice I also facilitate a weekly drug and alcohol recovery group.
