Chris is a practicing psychoanalyst with the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis. He provides a non-judgemental space where both conscious and unconscious thoughts can be explored. While psychoanalysis is guided by established techniques and ethical standards, it is not a formulaic process: each patient is unique, and every analysis must be reinvented in relation to that individual.

Before training in psychoanalysis, Chris worked as an exhibition designer. His projects explored narratives of immigration — often engaging with themes of loss, trauma, and identity — and included displays on ancient antiquities from Greece, Rome, and the Middle East, as well as exhibitions on Australian history and medical science innovation.

Chris’s interest in Lacanian psychoanalysis began in the 1990s during his studies in Fine Arts and Design. He first attended the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and later completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at RMIT Melbourne in 2002. His research focused on the body in space and the body as a space — a formative engagement with psychoanalytic concepts of spatiality that developed into a deeper exploration of Jacques Lacan’s use of topology to understand the formation of the human subject.
