He has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and is passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing across the lifespan.

Please note that for all clients aged 17 and younger, a parent session is required as the initial appointment. This allows Charles to obtain developmental history of the client and to understand the presenting concerns from a parent's perspective. Teenage clients can attend the initial session but this will be split into two halves; first half parent and Charles and second half client/client and parent with Charles.

Charles will be continuing with DKM in 2025 and his fee will increase to $150, and will not attract a Medicare rebate. He full fee is in line with the out of pocket fee to see one of our psychologists.
