Talk
We talk through what is happening now, where it comes from, and what needs to change. You set the pace.
Talk. Art. Therapy.
Person-centred counselling and art therapy for adults who feel anxious, stuck, or worn down.

Art
When words dry up, we can use drawing, collage, or clay. No art skill needed. The value is in what you notice while making.
Therapy
Sessions are steady and practical. We look at patterns, not just symptoms, and work with difficult feelings without rushing.
Who I work with
I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, grief, burnout, and major life transitions.
You do not need art experience. If you want to stay with conversation, that is completely fine.
- Anxiety or overthinking that keeps running in the background.
- Low mood, grief, or feeling flat for longer than usual.
- Burnout from carrying too much for too long.
- Big life changes that have knocked your footing.
- Feeling stuck when words alone are not enough.

About Max
MM
For fifteen years I worked as a professional photographer — Vogue Australia, Qantas, Melbourne University. I know what it is to be good at something and still not feel okay. That question eventually led me here.
I hold a Master of Counselling from Swinburne University and an Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy. My approach draws on ACT and EFT alongside relational and psychodynamic work. Where it helps, we bring in mindfulness, body-awareness, and making.
I work with anxiety, grief, burnout, and the transitions that knock your footing. I am direct, I do not rush, and I will not pretend to have answers I do not have.
