Individual Psychotherapy, Systemic Family Therapy and Clinical Supervision
Noosa Heads, Sunshine Coast
Welcome. My name is Preston. I offer evidence-based Individual Psychotherapy and Systemic Family Therapy for adults, adolescents and families experiencing complex mental health difficulties.
My practice brings with it more than a decade of clinical experience working across private practice and specialist public mental health services.
My approach is systemic and narrative. I have particular experience working alongside people experiencing complex trauma, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and psychosis.
You stand now precisely where you are.
You have always been travelling to be here.
Everything you need next will be found from the paths you have walked, and between those who you have walked with.
We are all still with you.
Attend deeply to what is becoming possible as you take the next step.
Individual psychotherapy and systemic family therapy for adults, adolescents and families experiencing complex mental health difficulties.
The lives we live are invariably larger than the descriptions by which we presently know them.
Together we work to understand how your world has become organised, and then, to discover what other possibilities become available once familiar assumptions are re-examined with care.
We each practice from ideas like what makes up a person, what constitutes their suffering, and how psychotherapy may ameliorate that suffering.
In supervision we work to render the assumptions inherent to those ideas overt and to subject them to useful critique.
This area is a place to think in public. Here I write about the questions that continue to shape my own practice.
I hold no final answers. I offer freely my curiosity and honesty that we might continue to talk about the things which matter.
