Background
I divide my time between private practice, working for a large not for profit organisation and as consultant clinical supervisor to a Masters training program.

Apart from working with individuals, couples and families over a range of presenting issues, I also facilitate group programs including parenting groups, intimate partner violence groups, and personal growth and awareness groups.

Therapy Approach
"If all you have is a hammer, then everything will look like a nail" as Maslow so famously said. This reflects my approach on the complexity of the human spirit and how best to meet its challenges. It also underpins my quest for constant learning and personal enrichment in my chosen field.
My body of theoretical knowledge serves as a backdrop to what is of true essence: you the individual sitting before me, and the uniqueness of your situation. I do not work to a set formula, script or structure. Rather, my endeavour is to meet you and the work we need to do together, holistically at where it is at.
