Addiction, Grief and Men's Counselling
Counselling for adults, couples and adult family members navigating grief and bereavement, trauma and PTSD, alcohol use and recovery, men's mental health, and relationship difficulties.
Ken offers a calm, non-judgemental space to understand what is happening, recognise patterns that could be keeping you stuck and work towards practical, meaningful change.
Ken's Clinical Focus
Ken works with adults, couples and families around addiction, grief, trauma and men's mental health, alongside common concerns such as depression and anxiety.
Support to understand alcohol use, identify contributing patterns and work towards meaningful and realistic change.
Exploring triggers, high-risk situations, coping strategies and the practical supports needed to protect recovery.
Counselling for people affected by someone else's alcohol use or recovery, including the emotional and relational impact.
Support following death or another significant loss, including grief that feels complicated, unresolved or difficult to share with others.
A private, non-judgemental space for men carrying distress, grief, trauma, relationship strain or alcohol-related concerns on their own.
Steady, trauma-informed counselling that respects the client's pace and focuses on understanding the continuing effects of traumatic experiences.
Support with recurring conflict, emotional distance, communication difficulties, trust and relationship patterns that feel difficult to change.
Support with depression, anxiety and everyday emotional regulation, alongside whatever else is happening in your life.

Who Ken works with
Before You Join
Choose a time that suits you from Ken’s Online Calendar. If you are not sure which appointment to book, contact us and we will help you find the right starting point.
Your first session is a chance to talk through what has been happening in a calm and supportive space. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. Together you will explore what has brought you here and what you would like support with.
Yes, and it happens often. It's common for one counsellor to work with a parent while another works with a child, or for two children to each have their own counsellor. When more than one of our counsellors is involved, one of them holds the role of lead counsellor. They keep the overall picture of what your family is working towards, so the support stays joined up rather than running in separate directions. Families tell us it helps to know who that person is.
Ken does not offer Medicare or private health rebates. A referral is not required to book.
Self-managed and plan-managed participants can use eligible NDIS funding. Discovery Family Therapy is not a registered NDIS provider.
A Little More About Ken
My meaningful achievements are my clients. Those I remember, who reached out to me for help and for whom I sometimes went above and beyond to support, and who then went on to enrich my life with great memories.
Rather than applying a single model, I listen carefully to what each person brings and find the approach that actually fits their life. I draw on Gestalt, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, SFBT, attachment and schema work, and spiritual integration. For clients with big questions about meaning and identity alongside practical ones, there is room for both.
I enjoy quiet evenings with music, good food, and time to reflect.
