Welcome to BC Counselling
Hello, I'm Brad - welcome to BC Counselling.
I'm a professional counsellor, which means I'm trained to help people talk about life - whether that be hopes, goals, challenges or problems - whatever it is they want to talk about. My role is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk things through and find your way.
I'm also a professional therapist, which means I'm trained to help people work through some of the deeper issues in life. That often means exploring "what lies beneath", especially ways of thinking, feeling, behaving and relating that might be causing problems or distress. Therapy seeks to make sense of things and then to reshape them so that change and growth become possible.
I'm also a registered supervisor, which means I provide professional supervision to other counsellors as part of their ongoing registration as practitioners. There are professional, ethical and legal considerations associated with counselling and therapy, and I aim for "best practice" standards for myself and others as registered practitioners. As part of that, I too meet with two clinical supervisors each month and they oversee my own conduct as a registered practitioner.
My approach as a helping professional draws on a number of practices, though I'm particularly partial to Strengths-based, Values-informed and Solution-focused methods. I like seeing how a person wants their life to be, where they're currently at and then working out what we need to work on together to help move them forward. My approach includes helping people become a better version of themself (ie. personal growth), not focusing only on what isn't working well (ie. alleviating symptoms).
I'm a Christian guy and my beliefs inform how I make sense of life and my purpose in the world. Those who come to me for support are not expected to share the same worldview. My practice values diversity and inclusivity, with everyone being welcome. My goal is to help as best I can to those seeking support, giving full respect to their beliefs, values and choices. For those people who value spiritual and religious practices as part of the journey, we can talk about how these may be included in the counselling process. I believe that every person has the right to make an informed decision as to whether I'm the right fit for them as a counsellor - so please let me know if you've got any questions to help you in making a decision.
I'm a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and a member of the ACA College of Supervisors. I am in the final year of my Master of Counselling with PBC. I have a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Integrated Psychotherapy with the AIFC and a Graduate Certificate in Divinity with Morling College.
My professional services are available to individuals, couples and families. It doesn't matter who you are, I'm here to help as best I can.

With Men in Mind
Men...let's face it. Chatting about life stuff might not be the easiest or most comfortable of things to do...but I'm guessing that if you're a guy and you're reading this, then maybe you're looking for someone to talk to. And if you also think that chatting with another guy might make it easier, then maybe I'm that guy.
Here's a list of things I've put together with men in mind:
- relationships: friendships, partners and families
- marriage and divorce
- affairs and infidelity
- grief and loss
- work and career
- dealing with stress
- navigating depression
- strategies for anxiety
- anger management
- confronting the past: childhood abuse
- all things sex and sexuality
- questions of identity
- tackling substance misuse
- navigating difficult thoughts and feelings
- when I just keep doing what I need to stop doing: addiction
- bouncing back: building resilience
- growth and well-being

Couples Coaching
Growing Together, Not Just Getting Through
Every relationship goes through seasons. Even strong, loving couples can feel a little disconnected at times, stuck in the same patterns, or unsure how to move forward together. Couples coaching isn’t about blaming or fixing what’s “wrong” — it’s about building something even stronger.
Couples coaching creates a supportive space for open, honest conversations. It helps you understand each other more deeply, communicate with more ease, and reconnect with what brought you together in the first place. You’ll explore what you both want, what matters most, and how to grow as a team.
This work is especially powerful for couples who are doing okay — but know there could be more. More connection. More understanding. More fun, trust, and closeness. Coaching focuses on practical tools you can use in everyday life, helping you navigate challenges, strengthen your bond, and move forward with intention.
Think of couples coaching as an investment in your relationship. A chance to slow down, tune back in to each other, and create a relationship that continues to grow, evolve, and feel good for both of you.
Great relationships don’t just happen — they’re built, nurtured, and chosen every day.
My approach as a Couples Coach combines Solution-Focused practice with the Gottman Method, a therapeutic model based in 20+ years of research as to why some relationships grow, deepen and last the distance while others don't.
Peacemaker Coaching
A gentler way to work with conflict
Conflict happens in every relationship. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed, or that something is “wrong” with you or the relationship. Most of the time, it simply means something important wasn’t heard, understood, or handled in the moment.
In Peacemaker Coaching, we slow things down. Instead of focusing on who was right or wrong, we gently explore your part in what happened — not to blame yourself, but to understand yourself better. We look at what you were protecting, what you needed, and how that may have come across to the other person. This is where blind spots often show up. Things you didn’t mean to do, but that still had an impact. When those become visible, real change becomes possible.
From there, we explore what repair might look like. Sometimes that means offering a sincere apology. Sometimes it means setting a healthier boundary. Sometimes it means choosing forgiveness. Sometimes it means letting go with clarity and peace.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s awareness, responsibility, and wiser choices moving forward.
Conflict can become a doorway — to growth, deeper connection, and more honest, grounded relationships. You don’t have to navigate it alone. And you don’t have to carry it forever.
I have completed all PEACEWISE training in conflict coaching and restorative mediation and ground my Peacemaker Coaching within the PEACEWISE framework.

Wellbeing Supervision (Leadership)
Wellbeing Supervision (Leadership)
Supervision is a space just for you — a place to pause, reflect, and breathe in the middle of the work you do for everyone else. It’s not about being judged or having all the answers. It’s about having a thoughtful, supportive conversation with someone who understands the realities of counselling work.
In our supervision sessions, we talk about your clients, your questions, the moments that feel heavy, and the ones that leave you unsure or stuck. We also make room for you — how the work is affecting you, what you’re carrying, and what support you might need to keep showing up with clarity and care.
My role isn’t to tell you how to do your job. It’s to walk alongside you as you reflect, notice patterns, explore blind spots, and grow in confidence and competence as a practitioner. Together, we’ll think things through, reconnect with your values, and find ways to work that feel ethical, grounded, and sustainable.
Supervision is about staying curious, supported, and well — so you can keep doing this meaningful work without burning out or feeling alone.
I provide Professional Supervision within a Christian framework for postgraduate counselling students and ACA Level 1 and 2 registered practitioners.

Wellbeing Supervision (Leadership)
Leading at a senior level comes with pressure that most people never see. Big decisions, constant responsibility, high expectations, and very little space to put it all down. Over time, that load can quietly take a toll — even when things look “fine” from the outside.
Wellbeing supervision is a regular check-in just for you. A confidential space to step back from the noise, take stock of how you’re really going, and notice how the pressures of work are affecting your energy, relationships, health, and sense of balance.
This isn’t performance coaching and it’s not therapy. It’s a thoughtful, grounded conversation that helps you stay aware, steady, and well while carrying a demanding role. Together, we look at how you’re handling stress, where you might be running on empty, and what needs a little attention before it becomes a bigger issue.
Strong leadership isn’t about pushing through at all costs. It’s about knowing yourself, recognising when things are tipping out of balance, and making small, wise adjustments that protect both your wellbeing and your effectiveness.
Because when you’re well, your leadership is clearer, calmer, and more sustainable — for you and for everyone who relies on you.
