Rethinking Mental Health Support in Australia | with John Cuturilo
Is traditional therapy failing too many people, and what’s the alternative?
This week on Sh*ts F*cked, Paris is joined by John Cuturilo, an Aussie life coach, therapist, and host of Your Listener, to explore how he’s redefining mental health support with a more flexible, human-first approach.
With a background in Psychological Sciences and years of experience in mental health and coaching, John blends evidence-based therapy with practical, down-to-earth coaching that meets people where they’re at. Together, they dig into the power of person-centred and existential therapy, the gaps in Australia’s mental health system, and how real connection, not rigid frameworks, creates lasting change.
John also breaks down his services through Your Listener Life Coaching, explaining how he helps clients develop communication skills, build independence, and get unstuck.
