Alexander John Hogg
About me
As a husband, father, brother, and mate, I understand the complexity of relationships, the emotional weight of modern life, and the courage it takes to reach out for support. My name is Alexander Hogg, and I’m the founder of Mindful Mates Counselling — a mens and family counselling service grounded in trauma-informed, real-life experience and evidence-based care.
Experience
I am a professionally Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, holding a Bachelor of Psychological Science and a Masters of Social Work, and am fully registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
I began my career in youth homelessness and out-of-home care, expanding into acute mental health, trauma recovery, family therapy and disability. I specialise in EMDR therapy, trauma, injury recovery, crisis support, addictions, risk assessment, suicide prevention, mental state examinations, and care planning. I can also provide therapeutic support for autistic and ADHD clients, including those with PDA profiles, and work closely with families navigating the NDIS.
