“I will create a working relationship with you that is both challenging and safe; enabling you to grow and feel held”

My name is Curt Mason, I was born and grew up in London, England and have been living in Sydney for over 12 years. I love working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist because I am always humbled by the struggles I support people to move through and the courage and change that I see people make.

Like everybody I too have had to face difficult life transitions, problems in relationships, feelings of uncertainty and loss. I continually attempt to make peace with my vulnerabilities, whilst learning to accept my own insecurities and times of unknowing. In fact it has been the working through of these life experiences that has brought me into the profession I am now in. These experiences are my richest resources and teachings and they help me to understand and support the people I work with in making lasting change in their lives.

I have 10 years experience as a Counsellor and Psychotherpist and over 20 years experience as a mental health worker. My initial training is as a Person Centred counsellor and more recently I have completed a Master of Gestalt Psychotherapy. I am also registered as a clinical member of the Counselling and Psychotherapy Association of NSW (CAPA).

I work primarily with individuals in one to one sessions and can work both short term and longer term depending on what is required. I am a trained and experienced in facilitating therapeutic groups I run eight week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR).

I am experienced in working in these areas -

• Childhood Experiences

• Life Transitions

• Relationship problems

• Addictive/compulsive behaviors

• Intimacy

• Gender and Sexuality Exploration

• Lesbian and Gay Issues

• HIV/STI

• Trauma

• The Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) has been shown to greatly reduce a person’s anxiety and support people with low mood, self worth issues and depression.
