Philosophy & Vision
My work is directed to people over 18 years of age with issues to resolve or just curiosity about themselves and their life. Hearing yourself speak out loud to someone whom you believe is listening, understanding, and interested can be very healing. Conversations can open up avenues for exploration and resolution.
Background
My early life was spent working in Pharmacy, then Social work. After training in Psychology I have worked in many settings including public and psychiatric hospitals, alcohol and drug treatment centres, returned soldier centre, staff and student university counselling centre, and prisons. Also over 40 years in general private practice. I have accreditation in clinical psychology, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, and hypnosis
Services
I use a variety of tools from my training in life, cognitive-behavioural therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, and jungian orientated therapy.
Quality Provision
I engage in peer supervision and various professional development activities to maintain skills.
