Meet Grant

B.A., Dip. Ed., MCnslg.

Grant is a qualified and registered counsellor based in Bendigo, Victoria. He is passionate about supporting people through their recovery from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and other mental health challenges. Known for his calm, respectful presence, Grant offers both in-person and online counselling in a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space.

Originally a teacher and school leader, Grant worked in NSW, the UK, and Victoria, where he witnessed the deep impact of mental health challenges on both students and staff. This experience inspired him to retrain as a counsellor, completing a Master of Counselling at Edith Cowan University in Perth.

Grant has worked in community counselling settings and now runs his own private practice. He offers an integrative, person-centred approach, tailoring support to each client’s unique needs. He is a qualified practitioner in both Eye Movement Integration Therapy (EMIT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and is soon to begin training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—three evidence-based therapies that help clients process distressing memories without needing to relive them.

He believes in approaches that are creative, collaborative, and efficient—helping people find relief without prolonged exposure or overwhelming conversations. Grant continues to train with EMIT College Australia, the Impact Academy (Canada), and US-based EMDR educators.

He lives in Bendigo, enjoys being outdoors, and actively supports the local performing arts community.
