Blair is an accredited counsellor, psychotherapist, and somatic experiencing practitioner (SEP). Blair has completed a Master of Counselling and has undergone extensive training in Systemic Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing (trauma recovery). Blair is also an accredited meditation and mindfulness teacher and a youth mentor, making him a nurturing male advocate for many young people.

Blair works with school-aged children, adults, and couples presenting with a wide range of issues, including generalised anxiety, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, social difficulties, low self-esteem, anger mismanagement, grief and loss, chronic stress, adrenal fatigue/burnout, insomnia, lack of purpose, and adjustment challenges such as family separation or relationship breakdown. Blair particularly enjoys supporting adult clients and couples to uncover unconscious emotional patterns rooted in childhood that influence how they relate to themselves and to others. Through this work, clients are empowered to create conscious, meaningful, and lasting change.

Blair honours each client’s unique characteristics, experiences, and therapy goals and uses this information to create individualised treatment plans. Blair’s treatment modalities include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Informed Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy. Blair may also draw on his meditation and mindfulness training to provide his clients with practical techniques to regulate their nervous system.

Blair brings a compassionate, calm, and thoughtful disposition to therapy. His gentle nature allows his clients to feel safe in his presence, promoting vulnerability. Blair supports his clients to find meaningful ways to improve their physical vitality, quieten their mind, and claim an embodied sense of self.

Blair is a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
