Kirk’s breadth of work has focused on people suffering with trauma and other issues from military service, persons experiencing AOD addiction, family issues and relationship difficulties. As a therapist it’s important to understand people from all walks of life finding it challenging to access psychological services, it's why Kirk would like to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible.
