aBOUT TINY WARRIORS STUDIO
WHERE HEALING MEETS HEROES. WHERE PLAY MEETS PURPOSE.
OUR MISSION
At Tiny Warriors Studio, our goal is to help young adults, parents, and veterans improve their mental health by connecting therapy with gaming worlds they already know, love, and trust.
WHY “TINY WARRIORS”?
Tiny Warriors Studio is my answer to the invisible battles so many of us fight behind the screen. It’s where therapy gets XP, and every gamer has a shot at unlocking peace of mind, no matter how small they might feel.

Father. Psychotherapist. Gamer.
Professionally, prior to becoming a therapist I served in the Royal Australian Air Force supporting communication and I.T systems. After discharging in 2005, I stayed in the I.T field working for private companies until I felt the pull towards helping others with their mental health. From there, I decided to study my degrees in counselling & psychotherapy and setup my own private practice. I’ve been doing that ever since.
Personally, I’ve always been an avid gamer. It’s my way to relax. From video games to tabletop RPG’s, wargames and miniature painting, I’ve loved becoming absorbed in the stories of fantasy and science fiction.
It was only a short time ago that I began to wonder if I could marry the two concepts of gaming and mental health together, and from that Tiny Warriors Studio was born.
It’s been a long road, but if you’d like to know what I’ve studied to get here… here it is!
- Masters of Counselling & Psychotherapy
- Grad Dip of Counselling & Psychotherapy
- Bachelor of Psychological Science
- Neurolinguistic Programming Certificate
- Spiral Dynamics Certificate
