Limited appointments are available at The Banyan's Health and Wellness Clinic, located at 8/16 Thompson Street, Bowen Hills QLD.

Peter's personal experience with managing type 1 diabetes in his family gives him unique insight into chronic diseases and their impact on individuals and families. He understands the connections between conditions like diabetes, cancer, chronic fatigue, and mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression.

One of Peter's areas of expertise is the Brainspotting therapy technique, in which he is trained to Masters level. This innovative methodology helps individuals process psychological and emotional concerns stemming from traumas and other life issues.

While not a sports psychologist, Peter works with athletes competing at the Olympic and elite levels, offering complementary therapy to other team and sport psychologists. His approach, which includes various Brainspotting modalities, also benefits business professionals and management team members in their occupational endeavors.
