Please note: Due to extensive wait times, Shawn is currently not accepting new referrals unless a prior arrangement or direct referral has been made by your treating psychiatrist, and a strong therapeutic fit has been identified. Even with a psychiatrist referral, there may be a wait of four to six months before an appointment becomes available. At this stage, Shawn is unable to accept new GP referrals. This will be reviewed in March 2026. We understand this may be disappointing, and we’d be happy to suggest alternative practitioners if that would be helpful.

I am a psychologist with dual master's degrees in Clinical and Organisational Psychology. I am simultaneously seeking two endorsements through the registrar program. An endorsement of registration recognises that a person has additional qualifications and expertise in an approved area of practice.

My work in clinical teams has led to the development of intervention programs that have attracted multi-million grants. I have also been involved in developing award-winning psychometric assessments that have been recognised globally for being innovative and best in class.

I approach therapy as a dedicated space to prioritise your well-being and embark on a journey of self-improvement and discovery. This journey often necessitates embracing vulnerability, which can be uncomfortable initially. By nature, I am caring and sensitive, and my personality obliges me to connect with compassion and to listen with empathy. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space to explore, understand and navigate life’s challenges with you or your loved ones.

 I value the therapeutic alliance as the cornerstone of effective therapy and believe in fostering a compassionate presence and connection through interactive sessions. The effectiveness of my sessions hinges more on how authentic I can be and how connected and supported my clients feel with me than on the type of intervention I adopt.

I am a pluralistic therapist, drawing from multiple theoretical frameworks to guide my practice. My approach is relaxed and person-centered, fostering a collaborative process where you can steer your sessions towards your personal growth.

Alongside being a psychologist, I am married to my supportive wife (whom I met in my “Neuroscience for Psychologist” class), a doting father to two little boys and a captive servant to two, four legged fur babies.  

Shawn accepts new referrals periodically to ensure consistent, dedicated support for existing and previously discharged clients. Priority is given to referrals from psychiatrists and cases with acute presentations.
