Philosophy & Vision
Clear goals are defined to make sure treatment focuses on what you want. Problems like anxiety and depression are a result of unhelpful patterns of behaviour and thinking; therapy shows you how to straighten out your thoughts so they're more realistic, and you're shown ways to change your behaviour. The main approach used is cognitive behaviour therapy. Progress is monitored to make sure we're making improvements. Oh - and humour helps!
Background
I've worked in public and private hospital settings, as well as private practice. Patients have been treated for social anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, phobias, PTSD, OCD, depression, pseudo-neurological conditions, chronic pain, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger management, delusions and hallucinations, drug and alcohol - just about everything. I've also worked in corporate environments, and understand workplace stress, including bullying and harassment.

Therapy Approach
I am committed to using approaches that have research evidence to show that they're effective, and that is, by and large, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). There are different ways of approaching CBT, and I tailor my approach depending on the person's needs. I'm after results, and measure progress to make sure therapy is on the right track.
