I undergo professional and peer supervision.
I try to assure that clients are:
* Comfortable with the therapeutic work
* Informed about the purpose of various therapeutic interventions and given the choice as to whether they wish to use them
* Encouraged to give honest feedback about the work (I believe that such feedback helps to make sure I am 'on the right track' and that the work is indeed helping)
* Given important information about the issues they face, in the form of handouts, literature, mapping of patterns, reference to services, books/websites, etc.

| Prior to being in private practice, I worked for several years as a Family Counsellor in government funded programs. These programs included the Counselling Clinic, Families First, Family Residential Unit, and Family Services. I developed and facilitated a therapeutic group for parents who were going through separation and divorce. I also participated in setting up and running the Single Session Therapy Program through the Counselling Clinic and Family Services programs in Blackburn and Croydon. My work history includes working as a Counsellor for Parentline, The Greater Murray Access Line, and several gambling help lines across Australia. |
The theoretical frameworks I use in my work include: systems theory, trauma theory, solution focused therapy, structural therapy, strategic therapy, and narrative therapy. I have an eclectic approach and utilise a combined network of therapeutic thinking and interventions, tailoring my work to individual clients, couples, and families. I believe in collaborating with clients and empowering them to be full participants in the work, versus being in a one-down position from the "expert". |
