Welcome. My name is Max Rutherford and I have been working as a psychologist/psychotherapist for the past fifteen years, and for the past ten years have gained specialist experience as a Relationship counsellor working for Relationships Australia, and in private practice.
I specialise in Relationship Therapy and in the teaching of Mindfulness Meditation. I am also experienced in working with Mental health issues, Workplace issues, Bereavement, and Pain Management, and over the past three years I have reported to the Family Court of Australia on matters relating to family breakdown.
I have degrees in Psychology, Counselling Psychology and Couple & Family Therapy, and draw further inspiration from a personal interest in philosophy, literature, and the arts.
I also have a particular interest in how practices such as yoga, meditation and attention to diet impact upon mental health and our overall sense of well being.
Issues that may be addressed in therapy include:
- Relationship Enhancement
- Relationship Difficulties (such as communication issues, intimacy/commitment issues, parenting issues, financial issues and extended family issues)
- Concerns about mental health, addiction and/or personality disorders
- Relationship Breakdown (such as how to cope and take care of the children when a relationship ends)
Am I the right person for you?
Only you can decide if I am the right person for you. So please feel free to browse through my website, and then if you have any further questions about how I work please feel free to either give me a call (bearing in mind that you may need to leave a message as my phone is always turned off during sessions) or send me an email. I will try to answer your questions as best I can, hopefully within 24 hours.
