Practice Profile Description

I am a registered psychologist with over 20 years experience in the field. I have worked in private practice in Chatswood since 1999. In addition to my psychology training, I have completed a Diploma in Sexual Health Counselling and a comprehensive one-year training course in Ellyn Bader’s Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. I am an accredited sexuality therapist and I am skilled in dealing with sexual functioning issues (low libido, orgasm difficulties, physical pain during sex, performance anxiety, ejaculation problems), the psychological repercussions associated with sexual and physical traumatic events, and compulsive sexual behaviours. I use a holistic approach which combines behavioural, interpersonal and mind-body therapies. I can help you to locate the underlying emotional and physical responses to a particular problem, working at a deep level with both mind and body in order to effect long-lasting change. I utilise my training in Inner Space Techniques - a form of meditative body-oriented therapy that helps to access these core emotional undercurrents within the body. I am also able to help you process and regulate your emotions, understand negative patterns of behaviour, develop better communication strategies and increase body awareness. I am experienced in working with a range of client presentations, including depression, anxiety, grief, stress and anger. As a relationship counsellor, I am able to support couples through all sorts of relationship issues, including infidelity, intimacy, arguments and communication problems. I have experience working with complex trauma, especially in the area of sexuality. I am guided by the principles of trauma-informed counselling practice and work towards creating safety; self-paced learning; and consolidating your progress. I start by creating a safe therapeutic space so that you feel physically and emotionally safe. My clinic room is located in a quiet inner courtyard sheltered from street noises and passing traffic. I facilitate bodily wellbeing with body-oriented methods to help you begin to feel safe in a bodily sense. You have control over the therapeutic process and are in charge of the pace of your healing and progress. To help you feel more stable, I provide “here and now” grounding techniques to generate centred connection within. Working on the trauma, I will validate your responses to the particular traumatic events you have experienced, such as the flight, fight & freeze responses, or triggers and flashbacks. Together we will develop tools and techniques to orient back to the present moment. By generating awareness of patterns of avoidant behaviour you can begin to address these, consolidate your strengths, develop self-care protocols, and build trust in yourself again. The combination of my skill sets allow me to offer a broad range of therapeutic methods and holistic interventions. You will see for yourself what prevents you from having the sex life you want. Your concerns are addressed from a psychological and body-oriented level where lasting changes can take place.

You may find your oh so busy lives and related demands lead you to be pre-occupied with any of worry, guilt, resentment, irritability, frustration, tiredness and exhaustion. You may also be resistant to seeking professional support perhaps viewing it as a sign of weakness or failure. Albert Einstein suggested that "The thinking that got us here isn't the thinking that will get us out of here" (paraphrased). Counselling, coaching and psychotherapy are no longer confined to the provinces of temporary personal challenges and chronic mental illness. Here is an excerpt from one of my clients who has worked extensively with me and was prompted to go public with her experience and write an article about it: “I finally understand that no one in this world has the power to make me feel anything. I create, promote and allow the feelings and behaviours that I want in my life and I give to myself the things that I want to experience...... Knowing that no one external can take that feeling away is liberating.” This is an example of the benefits people share with me about my work with them. Beyond releasing burdens I assist you to build tools that sustain more understanding, joy, spontaneity, enthusiasm, loving and inner peace; a supportive pathway to better life choices. Read more testimonials on the "About John " page. In our work together you can claim back your life in ways that support you and the ones you love; a sense of renewal emerges no matter how challenging your situation seems; relationships are healed as you see them through new lenses; family dynamics transform creating deeper more loving connections notwithstanding the upsets, conflicts and dramas that have gone before. Life just gets better no matter your starting point.

Hello and welcome. I’ve been a psychologist in private practice for over 25 years. Prior to this I was trained and worked in Early Childhood Education as a teacher, director, and later as an advisor. I’ve also taught in Adult Education, worked in Community Mental Health and University Counselling. I first discovered psychology at teacher training college. Then, after working initially with young children, travelling extensively overseas, meeting and working with people from all walks of life, I became interested in how we all navigate life’s challenges – what makes us ‘tick’ – and decided to make psychology my profession. During these years I’ve also been a field supervisor to students undertaking the Master of Counselling programme at Macquarie University and a board member of Miroma, an organisation that provides day programmes for adults with disabilities. I feel very honoured to accompany my clients on their journey through painful or traumatic events, witnessing the transformation. This is a fulfilling process for both of us.

There are many reasons why people may benefit from working with a Psychologist. At InSight Psychology, we offer individual psychological treatment for adults and a broad range of common child /adolescent emotional, behavioural, and social therapies for concerns including: -Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. - Adjustment difficulties including grief/loss, attachment and family separation. - Social skill development tools such as assertiveness, emotional intelligence and resilience building. - Behaviour challenges including anger/aggression and risk taking. - Specialization in working with people who have high functioning autism spectrum disorder. A ‘toolbox’ of evidence based practices are utilized by our psychologist with a strong emphasis on Mindfulness, Short-Term Solution Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), art/expressive therapies and play based interventions. Our approach to child counselling therapy is based on successful, well established methods that greatly benefit the individual and our clinicians ensure that where in the best interest of your child, parents will be included or informed throughout the process. We can also assist parents with tools to assist with their child’s issues and to improve their relationship with their child when needed.Therapy is provided online via a Zoom link in the comfort of your own home which makes it easier for you to attend sessions and easier to get your child/adolescent to engage without the hassles of transporting them to an appointment. We believe in the importance of early intervention as an essential part in assisting the prevention of additional future issues and we work collaboratively with caregivers to recognize the important role that the parent/child relationship plays in improved well-being. We also endeavour to connect with the school(s) to ensure the child/adolescent is supported in every environment. For adolescents, there are significant hormonal, mental and physical developmental changes that occur in people between the ages of around 10 to 20. These factors together with peer pressure and the academic expectations young adults face all have the capacity to affect their self-confidence and overall well-being. Many issues can be worked through by the individual with the support of family and friends, however sometimes professional expertise and assistance is required through counseling. Individual counseling will typically last 50 mins either in a weekly or fortnightly session, with realistic and recommended time frames for treatment discussed after the initial assessment has been completed (first 1-2 sessions).

Allan Anderson is an Australian-based health professional. Allan is trained as a Psychologist and has a practice located in West Kempsey.

Now, and throughout my career, I have helped people lead happier and healthier lives. Most people want to enjoy their hobbies and interests, form enduring relationships and feel valued as part of a community. As a counselling psychologist I step in and help clients remove obstacles getting in the way of these outcomes. I am also experienced in workplace psychology, having had roles as a career counsellor, leadership coach and advocate for fairer, safer and more family-friendly workplaces. People come to me with all sorts of problems. Perhaps they are feeling down or depressed. Work pressures might be burning them out or they have reached a fork in the road and are wondering which way to go in their career. They may want to lead but are unsure about stepping up. For many people anxiety is stopping them from doing ordinary things like giving a presentation or meeting new people. And now, of course, many are troubled by circumstances due to Covid, bushfires and other current events. My clients generally fall into two groups. Some are doing just fine and are looking for ways to take their lives or careers to the next level. Others are also resourceful people who have managed their lives well for most of the time but have fallen into a bit of a hole. If you fit into the latter group, it probably goes like this. People around you assume you’re doing fine but you know different. A little voice in your head tells you to ‘just get over it’ or that you should be able to sort things out for yourself. But try as you might, it’s not working. You have lost perspective or have run out of ideas. Talking to someone professionally qualified to discuss your unique situation and concerns is a sensible way to go. That someone should be a good sounding board. With their guidance you will reappraise your situation, try out new ideas or solutions, and receive advice on how to make the changes stick. You should expect to feel calmer, more optimistic and in control within a relatively short time. If you choose me as your counsellor or coach, you will be speaking with a person highly qualified in their field. I have expert knowledge of human behaviour, what makes individuals unique and special, and how people change and grow. I am registered as a psychologist with APHRA, the government authority, and am qualified as an organisational psychologist. As my client you may be eligible for Medicare benefits.
