Before becoming a Mental Health Professional, Evan began working in a Foundry swinging a sledgehammer to break open and processing metal castings. He understands hard work. He spent a period serving in the Army before finding his calling as a Mental Health Nurse.

He worked in the Public Sector for more than twenty years, working with people on behalf of the State Government. He was highly commended in 2017 for exhibiting the quality of ‘Respect’ in the Townsville Hospital and Health Service Australia Day Awards. He has completed his academic studies and gained two master’s degrees in the Mental Health field. He prides himself on understanding academics and research about the concepts of good mental health and then explaining this without the jargon in a way that all can understand.

Evan is always up for a conversation and keen to learn and listen to understand those around him. His excellent listening skills gave him a better understanding of how to apply the psychology and ethics required for a life worth living.

One observation Evan made was that people often struggle with their relationships. These relationships include intimate partners, family members, children, and work colleagues.

Relationships are complex at the best of times. We work with people to become more skilful in negotiating these relationships. We look at the issues and assess whether they can be changed or whether it needs to be accepted as it is.

The aim is to promote wisdom and courage in authentic relationships with the people who form our lives.
