In Nathan's words
I take a “whole”istic approach to helping children, adolescents, and families; where understanding the problem and developing treatment protocols look beyond what is seen in a presentation of a client, but rather to the environment around them and their unique understanding of it.
Continue reading Nathan's approach
I have worked in the healthcare and mental health fields for the last 10 years, including addictions therapy, adult, youth, and family counselling, trauma surgery, transfusion medicine, medical research, and healthcare manufacturing. These diverse but targeted realms of experience have produced my holistic approach to helping children and families.
Ultimately, I look beyond the usual checklist of problematic behaviours, focusing on the whole story and what exactly is happening in an individual’s life and how they are integrated into their personal environments. Whether a paradigm shift in parenting or a program to improve behavioural problems is needed, I find great satisfaction in making the goals of a family or a child a reality

Qualifications & registrations
- Experience
- 15 Years
Trained in these approaches, drawn on depending on what each person needs, not a fixed formula.
A few questions, answered
Understanding the struggle kids and adults have and seeing the failures of the traditional medical model.
Learning from the experiences of others and guiding people through real and lasting change in their lives.
It is completely natural, and feeling that resistance is important, but the push to break through this wall is also as important and even critical to achieving real positive change.
Family, wife and children
The children and adults i meet and the stories I hear.
It is the micro-connections that feed the couple.
Your child is not broken.
Enjoy every moment and find happiness in everything, big and small. Life is the experience of the here and now.
