Welcome. My name is Max Rutherford and I have been working as a Psychologist/Psychotherapist for over seventeen years. I am currently working in the Department of Urology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and prior to that worked for ten years at the Central Sydney offices of Relationships Australia. I have also worked in pain management, student counselling, bereavement and private practice.
My areas of expertise are Relationship Counselling, Health Psychology (including Pain Management), Mental Health Issues, Workplace Issues and Bereavement. I am also an experienced practitioner and teacher of Mindfulness Meditation which is increasingly becoming recognized as a powerful tool for change and a practice that can significantly shorten the amount of time a person needs to spend in therapy.
Issues that may be addressed in therapy include:
- Depression, Anxiety, Grief and Post Traumatic Stress
- Relationship Issues
- Parenting Issues
- Chronic Illness
- Chronic Pain
