Child & Adolescent Psychologist

Reg. Psych, MAPS, AHPRA

I am Ben, a registered psychologist with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults to achieve positive mental health and well-being. I am passionate about providing evidence-based care and hold a postgraduate diploma in Narrative Practices, which helps me guide clients in reshaping their personal stories and building new pathways forward.

My professional experience includes working with children who have experienced trauma and supporting women affected by violence. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and empowering therapeutic space where individuals can process difficult experiences, build resilience, and move toward recovery. Alongside this, I have also worked for almost three years as a Disability Support Worker in Australia, where I gained valuable insight into the challenges faced by people with diverse needs under the NDIS.

Before moving into psychology, I played professional soccer in Chile’s second division. This experience instilled in me the values of perseverance, resilience, and teamwork, qualities that continue to shape my practice today.

I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, supporting them through challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, and identity development. My approach is inclusive, empathetic, and client-focused, with the aim of helping individuals thrive.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy playing soccer, training in CrossFit, and collecting Pokémon cards. I also love travelling, exploring anime and Harry Potter, and spending quality time with my family.
