About Mark

Mark has a rich professional background spanning technology and psychology; he brings a unique perspective to mental health services. His journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding human behaviour and supporting personal transformation.

Before his psychology career, he developed leadership and strategic skills in technology, including founding and leading his software company here and overseas. This background has uniquely positioned him to understand complex human dynamics and organizational behaviours, adding depth to his psychological practice.

Living in Boulder, Colorado, for 17 years running the software company he founded in Australia, Mark engaged in the Buddhist programs of Naropa University and the other spiritual centres of the town, such as the Ridwan School, developing an interest in eastern philosophies and various modalities of mental and spiritual health. These experiences helped Mark create a holistic and adaptive approach to mental health care and an understanding of the nature and role of awareness in our lives. After selling his company to a public company, Mark returned to Australia to further his studies and pursue his new life’s purpose.

His clinical experience spans various settings, including working in a mental health retreat, online, in my practice, and contract walk-in therapy. I target attachment and self-worth issues, which also tend to include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, and addictive behaviours, utilizing an integrative approach that draws from Mindfulness-inspired therapies, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Attachment and Psychodynamic techniques.

Mark helps individuals navigate psychological challenges, combining clinical expertise with a profound understanding of human potential developed through psychology studies and a career at the edge of his nerves, being the nature of high-tech start-ups.

More about Mark

What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

Helping people see, understand and change their role in their happiness and fulfilment. We tend to be unaware of our deeper emotional mind that drives our lives, especially when it feels threatened, going through life thinking we can outthink ourselves when, in fact, we can’t predict our next thought. Helping people see the deeper cause of their problems and their problems is the starting point of change. Seeing clients build the skills and capacities to enact that change and realise more of their lives is what motivates me.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

A 60-year-old lady client came to me defeated about life, feeling despairing, depressed and lonely after a lifetime of trying to find peace and contentment. During our work, we discovered that unconscious protections of being vague and people-pleasing kept her disconnected from what she desired: connections. Being vague reduced the chances people would criticise her and, to her mind, abandon her, whereas people pleasing tried to elicit acceptance from others. She simply wasn’t available for the connections she sought. The vulnerability involved was too threatening, and these protections saved her from her deeper fears but kept her lonely and ultimately depressed and in despair. Working through seeing her problem and the protections and building the skills and capacities to grow out of those protections connected her with others and life.
