Philosophy & Vision
IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY
In therapy, Blake's focus is on treating you as a person — recognising your unique experiences and individuality — rather than a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. He aims to cultivate a secure and constructive therapeutic relationship where your concerns are actively listened to, deeply understood, and thoughtfully addressed.
Blake has a strong interest in psychoanalysis, informed by his ongoing studies with the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis. He combines this with psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
His aim is to draw on both psychological and psychoanalytic perspectives to help people work through practical challenges, as well as issues that seem to resurface despite efforts to change, by helping to illuminate and address the often unconscious patterns that shape people's lives, choices, and relationships.
Background
Blake has experience a hosptial setting through his time at the LEAP (Learning to Eat at Peace) program at the Geelong clinic, working alongside those suffering with an eating disorder. This experience has continued in his private practice.
Blake also has experience working with children and young people through an NDIS and in the community, as well as with people who have sustained a spinal cord injury and adjustment to illness through his time at The Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre.
Services
Blake provides psychoanalytic treatment, as well as psychological assessment and treatment. He has experience with, and an openness to, working with people of all ages, including toddlers, and symptoms.
