Meet Wayne Chilver-Best
I’m Wayne.
Let’s talk.
I work with individuals, couples and families to explore what is happening in their lives and relationships, and what they want to be different.

You bring your life.
We look at it together.
Our families, communities and experiences can shape how we see ourselves and relate to other people. I’m curious about those influences, alongside what matters to you now.
My experience includes individuals, couples and families, LGBTQI+ clients, Aboriginal couples and families, people from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds, and men seeking behaviour change counselling.
My approach
Room for your
whole story.
We can explore the concern without making it your whole identity. These approaches help shape the conversation.
Narrative counselling
We look at the stories that have come to define a problem, and the experiences and possibilities those stories may have left out.
Acceptance and Commitment therapy
We explore how you relate to difficult thoughts and feelings, alongside the values and choices that matter to you. My training includes trauma-informed Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Imago and family approaches
Imago gives relationship conversations a structure for speaking and listening. My training also includes Post-Milan Systemic Family Therapy, which considers relationships in their wider context.
