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.
