I have two Melbourne locations: Carlton and Templestowe. Clients can be referred to either practice by any GP for Medicare service; in Templestowe I am also registered to provide services for low income earners. Private health rebates are available, and I am a Workcover and TAC provider. I am happy to take enquiries from family members and teachers of adolescents, and include them in therapy as appropriate. I can provide individual assessments, and reports for private or legal use.
I engage in regular individual and peer supervision, as well as professional development and training within various schools of therapy, including ACT, CBT, hypnosis, and transpersonal groups. I have received supervision from clinical and counselling psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and counsellors, and have worked as a cotherapist with various clinicians as well as an individual therapist. I coordinate the APS transpersonal interest group, and have trained postgraduates in ACT.
   
I have worked as a Psychologist in public and private settings in both Australia and the UK. In England I worked in child services with complex families, children and adolescents, and also saw teenage clients privately. In Australia I've worked in psychology clinics, in residential rehabilitation with chronically mentally ill clients, and I currently work with adolescent and adult clients in private practice. I also have an extensive background in clinical research with adults and children. I offer a sensitive, compassionate and flexible approach, and try to help clients through practical, experiential, and reflective processes of change. ACT and mindfulness is my main therapeutic approach, but I also use CBT, FAP, hypnosis, analytic, Jungian and transpersonal approaches as useful. I am a spiritually oriented therapist and can help clients in existential/spiritual crisis, as well as those with more common issues (depression, anxiety etc.), and all seeking purpose and meaning.
   
I work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Templestowe and Wednesdays and Fridays in Carlton, but I try to be flexible depending on client needs. Some after hours sessions available in Templestowe and in Carlton. Session length can be increased if needed.
