Who I am and how I can help you.
I’m Phil, principal practitioner at iConscious Therapy.
“I know firsthand how it feels to struggle with anxiety, trauma and depression. For years, I searched for a way to break free, and when I found the right tools, everything changed. That’s why I do this work – to help you experience the same transformation.”
With an earlier background in corporate senior management and small business ownership, I understand high-pressure environments, and trying to manage the simple day-to-day expectations of life. The seemingly unrelenting mental load, and the toll it can take on your health and well-being.
But more importantly, I know that lasting change is possible!
As a certified and registered practitioner I have been dedicated to making positive change in people’s lives for over a decade with Hypnotherapy, NLP and Time Line Therapy and I am constantly in awe of the amazing life changing transformations people are capable of achieving.

My Story
My journey with therapy began in the late 1990s, during a period of intense anxiety and depression brought on by trauma, overwork, and burnout.
I was climbing the corporate ladder, living out of hotel rooms, and working unsustainable hours. At the same time, trying my best to be a loving father and husband. My wife and I were also running a small business — and I was rarely home. Sleep became rare, stress was constant, and eventually, even simple tasks felt overwhelming. I withdrew into myself. Depression and anxiety had taken hold.
What surprised me most was how many others were silently struggling too. Once I opened up, colleagues shared similar experiences. I knew something had to change, and it needed to change now.
Seeking help led me to Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy — and it changed everything. These therapies helped me reclaim my life. I knew then I’d found my calling.
I went on to train with the late Dr. Everett “Tad” James and Gordon Young, founder of the Institute of Applied Psychology.
With their mentorship, as a qualified Master Neuro Linguistics practitioner, Master Time Line Therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist & Strategic Psychotherapist, I built a practice in Melbourne, and for a time, life found balance again.
Then I was diagnosed with leukaemia.
Managing client sessions while attending hospital treatments was challenging, but my condition is stable and well-monitored and hospital visits are a thing of the past.
It also inspired a new chapter — transitioning to a fully online practice. Supported by training in providing remote online service, I now work with clients across Australia and beyond.
When COVID reshaped the world, therapy followed. Online sessions became the norm — and just as effective, personal, and connected as in-person support.
It’s been a long road, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I hope my story gives you a sense of who I am and what iConscious Therapy stands for.
Wherever you are on your path, wherever you are located in Australia you don’t have to walk it alone.
I’m here to help — whenever you’re ready.
