Background and experience

Tom is registered as a Provisional Psychologist with AHPRA and is an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Society. He joined Fleurieu Psychology Services in January 2026 and works under the supervision of Tim Upsdell.

Tom enjoys working with people across the lifespan and recognises that every individual brings a unique life story, set of challenges, and strengths. He aims to provide a supportive, respectful, and non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood.

His therapeutic approach is evidence-based and collaborative, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Tom has particular interests in working with depression and anxiety, as well as supporting older adults experiencing emotional, psychological, and life adjustment difficulties.
