About Clinton

Relationship Counsellor for Individuals and Couples for the Sydney CBD and Inner West

I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and Gestalt therapist who has worked for close to a decade as an individual and couple counsellor. I have encountered a wide range of relationship issues that individuals and couples struggle with. I have a passion for assisting individuals and couples realise their relationship dreams.

In my couples work, I help couples create relationships that are respectful, loving and meaningful. The focus of my work with couples is looking at how they deal with difference and the perennial question ‘how can I be me, and be with you?’.

I work in private practice from two offices, located in the Sydney CBD and Newtown. I am also a faculty member of Jansen Newman Institute of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, where I facilitate group therapy for counselling and psychotherapy students and train them in therapeutic skills. Teaching at a tertiary level means I am up-to-date with the latest developments and trends in counselling and psychotherapy.

My relationship counselling philosophy

I was a professional classical musician for over 15 years and played with world-class orchestra in Australia and overseas. As a performer, I was often dealing with performance anxiety and nervousness, and this led me to develop an interest in the mind and the psychology of performance. Being a musician, I was drawn to the creative and experiential in my therapeutic work. This fits well with the Gestalt Therapy framework that I use, which views the whole of you in the context of your life situation, family, community and culture.

The cornerstone of my practice is valuing and raising awareness of ‘what is’; experimenting with new ways of understanding your world and relationships; increasing self-support and trusting your inner authority; developing healthy boundaries and supporting creative choices and responsibility in your movement towards health.

I am excited to be facilitating couples workshops in 2010 for the Centre for Relationship Development with Irene Dungey. As we are both Gestalt practitioners, we are highly trained in the complexities and challenges of relationships. This is a wonderful opportunity to assist couples who may be struggling in their relationships find new ways of being and relating, so that they may create loving and enriching relationships.

Professional memberships

I am a clinical member of Gestalt Australia & New Zealand (GANZ), a clinical member of The Australian Counselling Association (MACA) and a member of the Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA) Reg. No. 21029. I adhere to their codes of practice and ethics in my work.
