I assess children’s psychological, social and educational strengths and needs from a Systems perspective, working with the child’s family and school where appropriate. I am passionate about working with families who have experienced trauma and/or loss and helping parents to feel good about their role so they can help themselves and their children.

I am a school teacher and Psychologist with seventeen years experience working with children, adolescents and parents. I initially trained as an Instructor for Parent Effectiveness Training Inc. and Teacher Effectiveness Training Inc. and went on to obtain a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education and a Masters in Educational and Developmental Psychology. My work has included teaching and counselling in schools, assessing children under five and counselling their parents for the Department of Human Services and working in a Non-Government Organisation with families who have been notified to Child Protection. Assessment uses standardised psychometric tests and diagnostic interviews. Follow-up therapy or intervention draws on a variety of approaches as I choose the modality to fit the unique needs of each client. I draw on Narrative Therapy approaches, CBT, Play Therapy, Expressive Therapies, "Talk Therapy" and Parent Education.

To facilitate these approaches I use sandplay, painting, drawing, role-plays, worksheets, games, stories (fairy tales, movies) and picture books.
