Welcome. I’m James, a registered psychologist practicing in Cairns, Australia.

About me

I have a calm, respectful, collaborative approach and aim to create a safe, warm environment where you feel supported to discuss and explore any topic or problem. I provide treatment for people experiencing a range of problems, including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, interpersonal and relationship problems, and problems adjusting to life change. Or people simply seeking further understanding of themselves and self-development.

Approach

I always try to maintain flexibility in my approach. People see psychologists for different reasons; they also differ in their personalities, personal histories, and general approach to life. As a result, there is no one method that works for all people or at all times. My choice of approach or intervention arises from the development of a shared understanding of a person’s experience, desires, and needs. 

Fees and referral pathways

You do not need a referral to see me — it is possible to self-refer — however, to be eligible for the medicare rebate it is necessarily to be referred by a GP or Psychiatrist.

The fee for a standard individual consultation is $185. If you are eligible for a medicare rebate this leaves an ‘out-of-pocket’ cost of $88.35. We will, over the course of our time together, maintain an open dialogue about the frequency, cost, and duration of treatment that best suits your needs.

* Please note there is currently a wait time of approximately 3-4 months for new clients.
