Healing the Father Wound is not a one-time event.
It’s a relational, layered process that unfolds with time, care, and honest attention.
My mentoring offers a grounded, supportive space for men who are ready to explore that process — without pressure, performance, or false promises.
Getting Started
A Discovery Session
Every mentoring relationship begins with a Discovery Session.
This is a conversation — usually around 60 minutes — where we:
- explore what you’re currently carrying
- clarify what feels unresolved or pressing
- talk through what you’re hoping for
- and sense whether working together feels right for both of us
Many men leave this conversation with greater clarity, even if we don’t proceed further.
There is no obligation.
No commitment is expected at this stage.
Mutual fit matters
I only work with men who feel genuinely ready to engage in this work — and for whom my approach feels appropriate.
Likewise, I need to feel that I can support you with integrity and presence.
If we both feel aligned, we’ll discuss what form of work might best serve you.
How the work unfolds
Working with me is:
- relational, not prescriptive
- paced, not rushed
- honest, without being confrontational
- grounded in emotional safety and responsibility
Rather than fixing or pushing, the work focuses on:
- understanding inherited emotional patterns
- developing inner authority and self-trust
- releasing shame, anger, or grief with compassion
- learning new ways of relating — to yourself and others
This is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more fully yourself.
Ways to work together
At its core the work is the same in every form: a steady, private process of looking honestly at what you carry from your father relationship, and how it still shapes the way you react, withdraw, lead, partner, and father.
Across a full arc it moves through where your reactions and anger come from; the boy you once were, and what he still needs; the men who came before you, and what is and isn’t yours to keep; your own values, and how you meet a partner and your children; and, toward the end, setting down what was never yours to carry.
It is not therapy, not a quick fix, and not a motivational package — it is steady work for a man ready to look at what he has carried and what now asks for his responsibility.
There are three ways in, at different depths.
One-to-One Mentoring
The fullest form of the work — private, shaped to you, for the man who wants the full arc at the depth and pace it allows.
• 12 sessions, 90 minutes each
• Fortnightly, so there is room to process and do the work between sessions
• Chapters 1 and 2 of The Father Wound — The Unspoken Inheritance sent to you to read before we begin
• A bonus check-in three months after course completion, to see what has held and what needs renewed attention
Group work — four men
The same work, done alongside three other men — a little lighter in the room and carried more by what you do between sessions, for the man who wants real depth at a more accessible cost.
• 10 sessions, 90 minutes each, in a group of four
• Fortnightly
• Chapters 1 and 2 of The Father Wound sent to you to read before we begin
• A bonus check-in three months after course completion
Doorway Group
An opener — a first, contained encounter with the territory, not the deep work itself, for the man who wants to meet the ground before deciding whether to go further.
• 8 sessions, 90 minutes each
• Weekly
• Up to 14 men
• Chapters 1 and 2 of The Father Wound sent to you to read before we begin
The deeper work lives in the ‘one-to-one’ and ‘the group of four’ — the ‘Doorway’ is where some men first find their footing.
Cost
• One-to-one mentoring — AUD $7,200 (12 sessions)
• Group work, four men — AUD $4,500 per person (10 sessions)
• Doorway group — AUD $960 per person (8 sessions)
Additional one-to-one sessions, if needed, are AUD $550 each.
If you complete the Doorway and begin one-to-one mentoring within 12 months, the full cost of the Doorway is credited toward it.
What this work is — and isn’t
This work is for men who:
- are willing to take responsibility for their inner life
- understand that healing takes time
- are open to reflection and self-inquiry
- want depth rather than surface-level solutions
This work is not for:
- those seeking a quick fix
- those unwilling to engage honestly
- those expecting change without participation or effort
Clarity here protects everyone involved.
