We can offer accredited Mental Health First Aid and the Calm Suicide prevention suite.

Mental Health First Aid Australia offers evidence-based courses designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to recognize and respond effectively to mental health challenges. Just as physical first aid courses teach life-saving skills, MHFA training focuses on mental well-being.

MHFA training follows a practical, skills-based action plan. Participants learn how to:

Recognise Signs: Understand the signs of mental health problems or crises.

Respond Compassionately: Offer initial support until professional help is available.

Reduce Stigma: Play a vital role in promoting pathways to support.

CALM Suicide Programs:

These programs focus on suicide prevention, awareness, and intervention.

Participants learn how to engage in calm conversations that can save lives.

Awarded the Best Suicide Prevention Organisation of 2024.

Available in both online courses and virtual/in-person workshops.

Calm Care (1/2 Day): Learn to recognize signs, be suicide-aware, and know what to say.

Calm Intervention (1 Day): Develop safety plans and provide support for struggling individuals.

CALM Care Training:

Evidence-informed program focused on providing life-saving connections for vulnerable individuals.

Paul has extensive experience in working with those experiencing suicidal ideation.

Aimed at supporting individuals when they are feeling most vulnerable.

Participants praise the courses for their practicality, simplicity, and meaningful impact.

CALM Suicide Intervention Skills empower confident discussions and personal support for those in crisis.

Bespoke training is available for a particular problem, please contact to discuss.

We offer counselling / capacity building services to both NDIS participants and private.

It is a fact that one shoe will not fit all sizes and so it is also arguably true that one style of counselling will not fit all.

  Paul's therapeutic approach is dynamic and multifaceted, encompassing a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to meet individual needs. This can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to target specific symptoms and enhance overall functioning.

CBT helps patients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, DBT focuses on regulating emotions and improving relationships, and ACT encourages embracing one’s thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.

 By integrating these therapies, we aim to foster resilience, promote mental well-being, and empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives.

Paul works particularly well with people who have tried a mainstream therapy and have found it to be incompatible and of little to no value to them personally.

CRISIS CARE

If you or someone you know is at immanent risk click here or call 000

In the realm of mental health, crisis intervention plays a crucial role in addressing acute psychological distress and supporting individuals facing mental health emergencies. These critical moments require immediate attention and effective strategies to ensure the safety and well-being of those affected.

Mental health crises can manifest in diverse ways, each demanding a tailored response. Here are some common forms of mental health crises:

Severe Anxiety: Intense feelings of fear, worry, and panic that overwhelm an individual.

Panic Attacks: Sudden and intense episodes of fear or dread, often accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Suicidal Ideation: Thoughts of self-harm or suicide, which require immediate intervention and support.

Psychotic Episodes: Disturbances in perception, cognition, and behaviour, such as hallucinations or delusions.

Paul will work with you to find a solution to your problems and support you along the way.

However, please understand that should the risk of anyone become greater than is manageable, Paul will follow his duty of care obligations and ensure appropriate care is delivered.

We have rare to find specialist knowledge and experience of working with individuals who may be involved in the legal system and / or placed on orders.

We can work with individuals and with all stakeholders to ensure the care received fulfils any requirements.

Also, if a participant is currently in hospital / incarcerated we will work with them to ensure continuity of care during the transitional period.

This is offered on a case by case basis, please book a discovery call for an informal discussion.
