Where many therapists work with conscious mind alone, Steve has the ability to take the session to places hidden from usual conscious awareness. More and more people are looking for just such a Therapist with these unique skills.
Steve was very young when he knew his calling was to help others. He loved the feeling of helping and so, when he was old enough he began his formal training to become what he felt destined to become.
Steve is a therapist of Integrity and deep caring, who walks beside his clients until they are free from whatever issue or challenge they had faced. His countless positive reviews are testiment to his dedication to helping those who seek him out.
He began training in his 20’s, seeking out the very latest techniques in the field of Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy, knowing these modalities are the most effective in helping people overcome their problems at the deepest level creating lasting results.
Steve has since become one of the most sought after therapists in Geelong for people who seek deep and lasting change. Steve has a great understanding of many of the problems his clients face, and has an array of tools and techniques to help them overcome whatever they are facing.

Would definitely recommend him if you want to start working on being your best version of yourself” – Chelsea Taylor
Steve’s earlier life has been full of adversity and challenge. But rather than see that as a negative Steve sees that as adding to his ability to help others through a wide range of issues.

He can adjust and modify techniques to suit, it’s a truly bespoke form of therapy. It’s custom made to fit you and your unique therapeutic needs.
We can work with subconscious issues and blockages such as old beliefs, unprocessed trauma, many people don’t understand why they are still feeling the effects of some old issue, because they’ve done so much work on it, only to find there’s a deeper layer that other therapists haven’t gotten to. For many people it comes as a relief to find a therapist who’ll go the extra yards, and extra depths to help.
“I’d been to see psychologists and psychiatrists and saw a hypnotherapist for 8 months. None of them could help. Then I met Steve and my life changed” – Katya
Steve can provide everything a counseller or psychologist can provide, but so much more. Therapy with Steve is different because of the depth of the session. It doesn’t take long for Steve to gather all the information he needs to lead you toward a valuable insight, or a breakthrough that could change your life.
“It’s inspiring, powerful, life-changing… I’m so grateful for Steve” – Ellie
It can be difficult to know who to trust your mental and emotional wellness to, there are so many choices out there, but for those who know him Steve stands out from other therapists in some important ways. His integrity as a therapist, his friendly and …. Nature, his confidence, and the ability to create and hold a space for deep and often profound healing for his clients is a hallmark of his work.
“Finally someone who actually gets it ! Seriously, I felt like there was something seriously wrong with me. But Steve’s understanding helped normalize things for me. This is such a relief.” – Kate
Steve can often find the deeper root cause of any issue in a short period of time. Getting to the deeper core provides more rapid relief of the issue, even if it’s been there a lifetime, and leads to positive changes people seek. Steve is confident he can help most people overcome the issue rather than ‘manage’. Steve understands that ‘managing’ an issue helps, but a feeling of true freedom only comes with overcoming it at a deep level.
Many clients have come to Steve after searching for answers via other pathways and therapists, often for years with little or no satisfaction or relief. Steve is often able to help these people find answers in just 1 or 2 sessions.
“I’d seen Psychologists, Psychiatrists and others, for years I searched, I was about to give up… then I met Steve. He’s truly a gifted therapist” – Katrina
Steve certainly has a gift, he knew he’d be a therapist when he was young. And now with over 20 years experience, often intuitively knowing where to lead clients and what is required he’s at the forefront of a new breed of therapists who are ready to take therapy to the next level for those who are ready to do some really deep and profound work. The deeper therapy, searching the subconscious for keys and understanding of sources of current issues and dissatisfaction leads to personal growth and empowerment.
“Steve, you’ve helped me more than words can express! I really feel changed, and it’s happened so quickly” – Karla Koulos
Steve is a therapist with great Compassion, Insight and Depth, he has devoted his life to helping others. With over 20 years experience, he is dedicated to continual improvement in his own life and the lives of others. He has a deep understanding of the issues people face, supporting people on a journey to find the answers within themselves is his passion.
“The answers to your innermost questions, are within you. I’m here to help you find them” – Steve
Steve is a stand alone therapist at the leading edge of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and Core Focused therapy available today. He was trained by a Master Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist for over 15 years. And now uses and expands on those techniques to connect deeply and genuinely with each person he sees.
Steve really invests himself into the people he works with, he is interested in his clients empowering themselves. And offers his clients free after hours crisis support if needed.
Every session is unique to the individual, but usually we would spend some time talking, getting to know the issue or problem. Then, usually we would go ‘in’, ‘deeper’ into the issue in a closed eye, explorative way.
“If you’re ready for true, deep and often profound healing in therapy then Steve is the one for you” – Sarah Jade
Some therapists give you ‘coping’ tools or ‘techniques’, or a clinical diagnoses accompanied by a prognosis that you’ll have some ‘condition’ for the rest of your life, or medication. But you should be aware that there is another way, a more natural way, where the answers are found, issues transcended and empowerment is achieved.
Steve doesn’t use labels, he uses terms such as ‘at present you’re experiencing depression, but we can find the way back out of that place’, rather than ‘you have depression’, which can create disempowerment.
There are reasons for everything and answers to all the questions. For example Depression happens when a person gets caught up in negative or depressing thoughts or memories (loss of a loved one etc.) about the past. Whereas Anxiety is about a worry or fear about an upcoming situation, basically ‘what if’ fear. So essentially Depression is about the past, Anxiety is about the future.
The truth is that many therapists don’t have the skills to find the deeper subconscious reason/s for current issues. So talking therapy and tools are the best they can offer.
Steve will work with you to assist you to identify causes and overcome whatever you are facing. He has worked in Geelong for over 20 years helping thousands of people find clarity and satisfactory outcomes. He has gained a reputation as a therapist who is integrous and deeply skilled in his ability to find the source of the problem and lead his clients through to empowering outcomes, all in a timely manner.
Steve will support you to overcome whatever you’re facing, going ‘in’ and ‘flushing’ the issue up, rather than continue to suppress or manage through addiction or distraction or blaming behaviours. If left unresolved these issues eventually lead to more chronic mental, emotional and/or physical issues later on.
There are many advantages to working with Steve, he is thorough and intuitive. He is not limited to any one therapy style but brings a wealth of experience and deep therapeutic techniques to the process.
Steve has a calm and confident demeanour, people generally feel relaxed and trust the process. From the moment you make contact you’ll know you’re in good hands. Steve supports or ‘walks alongside’ his clients, in a collaborative way, toward a satisfying outcome. As mentioned Steve often makes himself available outside of session times in a text or a quick call if needed, adding extra support and comfort for those experiencing particularly difficult times.
