Insight Matters

 Mobile 0421 580 177
I use a positive, solution-focused approach which I call ‘Therapeutic Coaching’. This model is particularly enjoyable, empowering & effective because it progresses you toward solutions here & now. It deeply respects your intelligence, personal perspectives & experience. By contrast, many common 'therapies' involve lots of listening but few solutions, or lengthy psychoanalysis. My experience is that this too often isn’t helpful. I also use nutritional interventions. Medicare rebates available.

Service Notes   Service Quality Provision  
For adults & teens:
- Quick & largely permanent reduction of work/career stress
- Alleviation of depression, anxiety & phobias
- Guidance with relationship challenges
- Improving mood, intellectual & nervous system function nutritionally
- Support for illness recovery/management. (Specialty in ME/CFS/CFIDS: No it’s NOT all in your head!)
- Solutions for other challenging emotional/practical issues, e.g. legal concerns		 I have long since lost count of the courses I’ve done & the tomes of reading material I’ve absorbed!

I am a dedicated (some might say obsessive) personal and professional self-developer, with a deep thirst for knowledge and understanding - and for finding the best way rather than (necessarily) the common way.

I have a reputation for friendly professionalism & getting real results, quickly.
Experience   Orientation  
I am a Registered Psychologist, working with people referred by GPs, and with executives via my corporate practice, for 18+ years.

Before establishing Insight Matters in 2000 I was:
- Technical Director & Snr Corporate Psychologist, McKenzie Consulting Group (incl Carrick)
- Occupational Psychologist, Saville & Holdsworth (SHL), SE Asia
- Lecturer, Singapore Institute of Commerce
- Research Psychologist, Biopsychology (Nutrition) & Organisational Psychology (Counselling) Leeds University (UK)		 Therapeutic Coaching draws on the best of 3 techniques: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), business-style Coaching & solution-focused Counselling.

The difference is the strong emphasis placed on respecting your unique circumstances, personality, feelings & wants. My job is to assist your insight, problem-solving & emotional recovery - to move you quickly through whatever is going on and bring you out stronger & wiser.

I also use Nutrichology - the foundation for nervous system health.
