| I offer psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically-oriented counselling to individual adults and teenagers and to couples. A wide variety of difficulties can lead someone to consider psychoanalytic treatment. In the initial phase of the work I will undertake an assessment by means of a series of interviews to see whether my services will be appropriate for you. |
I am a psychoanalyst, recognised as such by The Freudian School of Melbourne (FSM). The FSM began in 1978 and was the first school of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Australia. Through my membership of the School I receive regular clinical supervision. I am very actively engaged in continuous professional development. I frequently present lectures, papers and seminars on clinical and theoretical issues both within the School and elsewhere. I am in addition an accredited Mental Health Social Worker. |

| I have over fifteen years clinical experience as a counsellor and psychoanalyst, working in both public and private clinical settings. I have worked with a wide range of individual adults and couples. The problems for which people have come to me for help have included anxiety, depression, suicide, bipolar disorder, incest and childhood sexual abuse, anger, destructive and antisocial behaviours, loneliness and relationship difficulties, sexual problems, and marriage and parenting issues. |
I work psychoanalytically. Undertaking an analysis is however a considerable commitment and is not for everyone. I offer all new patients the opportunity to speak and to be heard. In being listened to closely by someone who is neither a friend nor a family member you may experience some clarification of your immediate difficulties. Over the course of several interviews you may also recognise a pattern in what you tell me, a pattern of suffering in your life. Psychoanalysis is then a possibility. |
