my story
I became an apprentice in my early twenties, I loved it. I traveled all over Australia, from building a bridge in the desert to watching the Opera house at smoko.
Being a carpenter was more than just a career, it was an identity. Unfortunately, a disability took me off the tools, and long story short, I became an accredited therapist.
(My first tablesaw, a 300kg cast iron 12” beast of a saw.)
I’ve gone through a fair bit, including issues with alcohol, grief, mental health issues, trying to be a good dad, and trying to run a business. I know that when things got tough for me, I went and saw a professional
and that was pretty intimidating…
(My First professional workshop, a huge milestone that was both incredible and terrifying.)
I’ve created TRADIE THERAPY to be easy, feel familiar, and less difficult than a Monday morning toolbox talk after a long weekend.
Whether I am your 1st step to getting more help, or just towards making some changes, all we are doing is having a chat.
(On top of the world, putting the finishing touches on a 2.5 year long renovation.)
