Hi there! I’m Phil, a Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar in Melbourne’s South-East. I’m also the founder and owner of Fluid Psychology. Thanks for visiting my website and wanting to learn more about me and the services I offer.

A little bit about me: My style as a psychologist has often been described as warm, relaxed, calming, and down-to-earth. I know that people seek psychology support for different reasons, so whether you’re after some quick tips on emotion regulation or want to take a deeper dive into understanding yourself, I aim to collaborate with you to create individualised goals and a tailored, evidence-based therapy plan during our first few sessions together.

I strongly believe that every one of us thinks, feels, and behaves in the ways that we do for a reason, even if some of these patterns end up causing us problems and taking us away from the life that we want to live. I prefer to use therapeutic interventions informed by this philosophy, including knowledge and techniques from Process-Based Therapy (PBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Outside of work, I enjoy playing football (soccer), hiking, camping, and nature (maybe you can tell by that ubiquitous photo on the homepage!), learning musical instruments, watching comfort 90’s TV shows a bit too often (The Simpsons in particular), board gaming, video gaming, and escaping Melbourne winters to travel and see the world when I can.

You can find a little bit more info about me below, but if you have any additional questions, feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email.
