Hi, I’m Felix
Let’s bring your wants and needs to the centre of your life.
I’m a Narrative Therapist based on the lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, and I specialise in ADHD, queer counselling, and reclaiming your life from overwhelm and stress.
My practice is queer, trauma-informed, anti-racist, and sex work affirming. If you want to learn more, reach out and chat!
Have you ever asked yourself:
“Does everyone else feel like this? It feels like I’m the only one facing constant crisis - is it bad luck, or is it me? Why is this always happening?”
Let’s find answers together.
How I work
“The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem”
— Michael White
I help people reconnect to what’s important, build self-compassion, and spark their energy by exploring their beliefs, questioning what’s “normal”, and creating tools and strategies designed by you, for you.
It’s easy to feel like “the problem” and believe someone- a teacher, a parent, a health professional, anyone you trust to be the expert- when they tell you that you’re what needs changing, or fixing. But I’ve never spoken to anyone who wasn’t doing the best they could with the tools they’d been given, often struggling against the pressures of society, social expectations, and living under capitalism.
Therapy with me is…
-
I think we don’t always feel understood by others, so it’s one of my key values as a therapist to put in the work to really get you, your perspective, and your experiences.
-
There’s no one-size fits all therapy model, and no box that we can fit our whole selves into. So therapy with me is whatever it needs to be, and we’ll figure out what that looks like together.
-
Play is part of being human, and therapy shouldn’t always have to feel like work. There might be tears, but there will be laughter, too. And if you’re wondering what playful therapy might look like, check out the Narrative-based Journalling Game I made: Learn More
I help people become the authors of their own stories.
So we’ll start by working to understand you, explore what your life is like, and break down crises and expectations that leave you exhausted and overwhelmed.
Then we’ll look at what you want from your life, your goals and values and the people (and animals!) that matter most, and find what’s blocking them from connecting the way you need them to.
As we work together, you’ll take control of which thoughts, beliefs, and priorities deserve space, and build strategies to make difficult situations easier and work towards the life you want.
But do I really “get it”?
You’re not a one-hour lecture topic, you’re a complex person with a whole life.
As a trained counsellor and Narrative Therapist with 8 years of experience, I’ve loved gaining the knowledge and skills to be the most capable professional I can be. But therapy is more than studies, and sometimes finding someone who actually “gets” what being burnt out, chronically overwhelmed, or figuring out a new diagnosis, really feels like.
Well, I’ve definitely been there. As a non-binary queer person, and a late-diagnosed ADHD’r, I spent my whole life feeling like there was something I was missing that everyone else understood. That if I could just have a few weeks to rest, I’d finally have the energy to do all the things I imagined for myself. It wasn’t until I had support to understand myself and my needs that I was able to make changes- to my life, not my identity. And I want to help others find that hope and security and happiness for themselves.
