About Me
John Cuturilo is Your Listener, located in Australia. John is an empathic and approachable life coach who helps people to overcome challenges, make changes in their lives, learn about how their minds work, and ultimately become more independent problem-solvers.
John has a unique ability to communicate, solve problems, and organise, and a strong dedication to helping others and achieving the best that he can. Much of this was born of his history of his own mental illness; refusing to surrender, he devoted himself to being self-sufficient and accountable. He operated his own voluntary emotional support service, before becoming a para-professional social worker and therapist, working with people with severe mental illnesses and disadvantage. Clients cited that he could communicate with them and understand their problems when nobody else could, even with minimal apparent common experience. As a result, John has been cited as having “wisdom where others have knowledge”, and his guidance has been sought by people with considerably more life experience.
John holds a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences. He combines the best aspects of traditional therapy with those of contemporary helping professions, while addressing the limitations of both. He draws on evidence-based frameworks, primarily person-centred, existential, and schema therapies, motivational interviewing, and evolutionary theory. He carefully evaluates theory against his own and clients' experiences to refine his work. He listens, considers feedback, and adapts to each client's needs. John avoids pop psychology, mantras, expensive "transformational" packages, and hyperbolic marketing. He maintains that there is no single framework or time frame that reasonably applies to every person's goals. He wants to be seen by his clients as a human being just like they are, with his own journey, virtues, flaws, and eccentricities.
