Philosophy & Vision
I see therapy as a safe and supportive place in which you have the opportunity to explore and articulate your experiences and difficulties in ways that facilitate understanding and open up opportunities for new and thoughtful responses to your challenges. I believe that the process of therapy grows from a shared understanding of your goals and expectations, and builds toward achieving these within an approach and timeframe that you are comfortable with.
Background
I have over 15 years' experience working therapeutically with adults and adolescents across a variety of settings, including private practice, mental health, youth drug and alcohol, and university settings. In addition, I have worked for a number of years conducting research and teaching in the areas of psychotherapy, substance use and young people, and I have had my work published in international journals and books, and have presented numerous papers at national and international conferences.
Services
I provide counselling and clinical psychology services for adults and adolescents experiencing psychological difficulties, as well as supervision for psychologists and counsellors. I provide psychological treatment for a wide range of difficulties, including but not limited to mood, anxiety, substance use and personality difficulties. You are welcome to contact me directly, or to visit my website, to learn more about the services I provide.
Quality Provision
I am dedicated to continuing professional development. I attend consultation meetings and seminars regularly, and I read widely to ensure that my practice remains aligned with the latest developments in psychotherapy theory and research. In providing psychological services, I abide by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) Code of Ethics and Charter for Clients. I am a member of a number of professional bodies, including the APS and its Colleges of Counselling and Clinical Psychology.
