	In my 12 years of practicing psychotherapy I have learnt that people already possess the personal resources they need to heal their psychological distress. I aim to activate those resources by overcoming the despair and stuckness that compells them to repeat their painful ways of relating and living. I listen to what my clients tell me on all levels: verbal, non-verbal, emotional and implied comments to help me activate the neglected aspects of their selves.

Supervision

I offer a deeply respectful relationship in which it is safe for the client to express the pain and "dysfunction" they are unable to express in their own relationships for fear of shame and retribution. It has been my experience that when shame stops paralysing people, they are able to recover and develop deeply satisfying life experinces.

I also lecture in the field and I keep abreast in the latest developments in the field by undertaking regular training here and overseas.

Experience

Orientation

Community work in South Africa
Work in various settings: prisons, childrens' home and hospitals in South Africa
Sexual Assault counsellor in Sydney
Undergraduate lecturing in South Africa
Lecturing and supervision of counsellers in Sydney (2003-2008)
Private Practice from 2000-present in Sydney

An integrated approach incorporating interactional work, systemic theory, the various psychotherapies adapted to a post-modern foundation. I emphasise relationships: those in the clients own context and the relationship as it unfolds between me and the client.

What happens between me and the client mirrors what happens with the client and other people. The therapeutic relationship is the opportunity for the client to use and explore more of themselves to use in their own relationships.
