MEET Adrian O'callaghan

Hey, I'm Adrian!

I’m the founder of Purple Turtle Counselling.
For over 25 years, I’ve worked across counselling, psychology, and community services, helping people through real-life challenges, not just talking about them.

These days, my focus is men’s mental health, because too many men are carrying pressure alone, and it doesn’t have to be that way.

25+ years across frontline settings (mental health, family and relationship counselling, drugs and alcohol, aged care, homelessness, and prisons)

Proven community leadership (founded the Big Brother Big Sister program in Wangaratta (First edition) to connect young people with mentors and role models)

Practical, outcome-focused counselling that helps men improve day-to-day life, relationships, wellbeing, and resilience
