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.
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither are humans.
You might already know what you're looking for. You might just know that something needs to feel different.
Here are a few places we could start.
For Individuals
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong.
Anxiety, overwhelm, relationships, attachment, self-worth, grief, big changes — or just that hard-to-name feeling that something isn't quite right.
For LGBTQIA+ Folx
No translating. No performing. Just you.
Affirming therapy for identity, relationships, gender, sexuality, family, belonging, transition and everything in between.
For Gay Men
Sometimes you want to talk to someone who just… gets the context.
Dating, sex, relationships, intimacy, masculinity, shame, loneliness, belonging — and all the complicated stuff in between.
Relationships and Couples
It's rarely just about the dishes.
Communication, attachment, intimacy, trust, jealousy, disconnection — or somehow having the same fight for the hundredth time.
For Uni Students
Uni is about a lot more than uni.
Study stress, burnout, relationships, identity, independence, belonging — and occasionally wondering what the hell you're doing with your life.
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.
