Something isn’t working. And it’s likely been repeating for a while. I work with individuals and couples experiencing conflict, disconnection, or patterns that don’t seem to shift. We don’t focus on surface issues. We look at what’s actually happening — and begin to respond differently in the moment.

Uri is a wonderful therapist. Ive seen him on my own and with my husband. He was able to get my husband to open up, and we were able to work through a recurring block and move forward. Highly recommend Uri. And am grateful for his wise, gentle approach 🙏 More...

Uri has been a great support for my partner and me. He is very attentive and really listens, often reflecting things back in a way that helped us see our situation more clearly. He created a safe and calm space where we both felt comfortable being honest. Uri helped us recognise patterns we were getting stuck in and supported us to set clear, practical goals to move forward. The sessions felt thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely nurturing, and they helped us strengthen our relationship in a meaningful way. I would highly recommend Uri to couples looking to improve how they connect and communicate. More...

Uri is good at what he does. I’ve been caught up in months maybe even a couple of years of deep, deep pain and negativity about the world. But he has managed to bring his grounded and gentle space holding as a powerful disruptor to my deep, and what I thought was intractable, funk such that it seems really to have moved on. I’m hoping so however I know where to go if it comes back. Plus he’s reminded me of certain tools at my disposal. He is also wise and caring and seems to know precisely when to intervene and when to let things flow. I don’t think all practitioners, or even many practitioners are in impeccable service to the light, but my experience is that Uri is. Bless 🙏 More...

I found Uri easy to speak with and with his understanding of my situation he asked very perceptive questions that helped to discover for myself what was happening within me and my marriage. Both my husband and myself have engaged Uri in both independent and couple counseling. It has been genuinely helpful to have someone as insightful to help us both navigate our relationships with each other as well as ourselves. We both recommend Uri as a trusted confidant who has helped us identify challenges and given us useful tools and resources to benefit our lives moving forward. We both intend to continue our sessions with Uri to regularly check in on ourselves and our relationship with each other. More...

I have had the pleasure of meeting (online) with Uri recently and I am very excited to see how this journey continues. He was warm and open and he has made me feel very safe to be able to share my life story. Thank you Uri.

During my time with Uri, I experienced a gentle journey towards healing. Uri provided a safe space backed by years of experience and had a way of getting to the core without "ruffling the feathers"—exactly what I needed for this healing journey. The plethora of coaching tools that Uri offers is vast; it seemed to me that he has a great tool for every circumstance and is highly adept at choosing the right one for each situation. I gained valuable insights into dealing with my relationships, both professional and personal. I ended the coaching with a deep sense of gratitude and growth. More...

My husband and I recently connected with Uri, as our relationship had pretty much fallen to pieces. Uri has been a great help. He has an immense capacity to hold space and make both sides feel seen and supported. He gently guided us towards a more compassionate, respectful way of relating and gave us the tools to both express our needs and be heard by the other. We never felt judged or that he was favouring one party over the other. And he has a great sense of humour to boot. More...

Uri offered three free coaching sessions to someone in his local community. What a hero! I was the lucky recipient. I very much appreciated the three hour long sessions in the middle of lockdown. Uri’s encouragement and support helped me to kickstart several areas of my life and shift some habits that weren’t serving me. I would highly recommend working with him one on one and I imagine his courses are excellent as well. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a skilled coach. Philippa More...

Q&As
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people recognise a pattern they’ve been stuck in and realise it can shift. That moment changes how they respond — and everything starts to move from there.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After years of working with individuals and couples, I saw that lasting change comes from understanding patterns, not just managing problems. I built my practice around that.
Why should our clients choose you?
I don’t offer one-off advice. I work in a structured way to understand what’s actually happening and help you change how you respond in real time. That’s where change happens.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. Most sessions are held online with clients across Australia. Some people begin in person near Byron Bay and continue online as the work progresses.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Sessions are primarily offered online, which allows for continuity, privacy, and flexibility without disruption.
