Clinical Experience
Guy Howick is an AHPRA registered psychologist with over 25 years of experience across mental health, trauma, and substance use.
In practice, these fields are rarely separable.
His career has spanned community health, Aboriginal community settings, consultancy, and private practice: moving between frontline clinical work, senior management, and clinical supervision and training.
Knowing what helps people change in the room is not the same as knowing how systems shape — and often limit — what's possible.
Trauma is at the core of this experience: complex and developmental trauma (CPTSD), and the relational patterns that form early and persist. Substance use is the best form of surviving these experiences, and persists until we are ready for the next best forms of coping - and thriving.
This busy practice is telehealth only - Zoom or phone — across Melbourne and Australia-wide.
Clinical Focus
Most of us, at some point, find ourselves working against ourselves — caught in patterns of thought, feeling or behaviour that are costing us something we value. The presenting problem varies. The underlying dynamic often doesn't.
This work is not premised on something being wrong with you. It's premised on the idea that all of us can get better at meeting our own experience — with more skill, more flexibility, and less unnecessary struggle. Whether that experience is grief, anxiety, a substance that's outlived its usefulness, or simply a version of yourself you'd like to move beyond.
Careful, unhurried work. For people who are ready to look clearly at what's getting in the way.
