Because being human is hard sometimes.
Maybe you're overwhelmed. Stuck in the same relationship patterns. Disconnected from yourself. Anxious about what comes next. Questioning who you are or what you want.
Or maybe life looks reasonably fine from the outside — but something underneath just isn't.
Counselling & psychotherapy that feels human.
Therapy doesn't require you to arrive with the right words, a diagnosis, or even a clear idea of what needs to change. We can start with what’s happening now.

You don't have to figure it out alone.
I'm Devan.
I offer warm, relational and affirming counselling and psychotherapy for adults who want somewhere to make sense of what they're feeling, where their patterns come from, and what they may want to do differently.
I'm particularly interested in relationships, attachment, identity, LGBTQIA+ experiences, self-worth and the ways we learn to protect ourselves when connection hasn't always felt safe or easy.
I'm not here to tell you how you should live your life.
I'm here to get safely curious about it with you.
Ways we can work together

Individual Therapy
You might be feeling anxious, burnt out, low, overwhelmed or simply stuck.
Sometimes you know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes all you know is that something doesn't feel right.
Individual therapy gives us somewhere to slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore what you might need.

LGBTQIA+ & Gay Men's Therapy
Sometimes being LGBTQIA+ is central to what brings you to therapy. Sometimes it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Usually life is more complicated than either.
I have a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA+ adults and gay men around identity, relationships, attachment, intimacy, shame, belonging, self-worth and navigating queer life.
You shouldn't have to spend half a session explaining your community or your relationships before you can talk about what actually matters.

Relationships & Connection
A surprising amount of what hurts us happens between people.
We can explore attachment, boundaries, communication, recurring conflict, trust, intimacy, loneliness, relationship transitions and the patterns that seem to follow us from one relationship into the next.
My practice is affirming of LGBTQIA+ relationships and diverse relationship structures, including consensual non-monogamy.
Therapy isn't about fixing you.
My work is grounded in a person-centred, relational and attachment-informed approach.
That means I'm less interested in asking “What's wrong with you?” than becoming curious about what you've experienced, what you've learned to do to protect yourself, and whether those patterns are still helping you now.
-
what happens in relationships.
-
slow down around emotions that are usually rushed past.
-
explore how past experiences show up in the present.
-
simply sit with something difficult long enough for it to finally make sense.
Therapy is collaborative. You remain the expert on your life.
I bring curiosity, warmth, clinical training and a willingness to genuinely meet you in the conversation.
Online therapy — without making it feel distant.
Sessions are currently offered by secure video or phone, giving you the flexibility to attend therapy from somewhere private and comfortable.
I'm Sydney-based, with in-person appointments planned for the future.
50-minute individual session · $90
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available for people experiencing financial hardship.
Not sure whether we'd be a good fit?
Neither am I yet.
That's what the first conversation is for.
I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation where you can tell me a little about what you're looking for, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work.
There's no expectation that you continue.
No pressure. Just a conversation.
