| I have been working as a therapist and counsellor for almost twenty-five years. From 1992 until October 2008 I had been with Northern Sydney Central Coast Health, working in both residential and outpatient services with the Royal North Shore Hospital and Manly Hospital’s drug and alcohol units, for the last four years on staff at Mona Vale Hospital and Queenscliff Health Centre with Community Drug, Alcohol & Gambling Services. After sixteen years I left the public service to focus more fully on the private work I have been doing since 2002. |
I specialise in alcohol and other drug abuse, dependency and addiction, gambling and other behavioural addictions, and associated mood disorders. I also assist family members with the emotional difficulties that usually attend relationships with those with chemical or behavioural dependencies.
I also provide individuals and couples with general counselling for depression, generalized and acute anxiety, stress and anger management, relationship problems, as well as family and childhood-related issues. |
