Philosophy & Vision
Life can present many challenges and can sometimes bring exposure to unexpected events with profound impact and ongoing echoes. In my 30 years of practice as a psychologist I have held a passion for supporting individuals attempting to traverse life’s difficulties with particular attention to those who have experienced trauma.
I am experienced working with individuals with PTSD including Emergency Service Personnel. I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing complex trauma emerging from childhood abuse, family violence and other distressing intrusive experiences. Supporting people with attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, personality disorders, depression, anxiety and compulsions has been a natural extension of my work.
Background
I am a Psychologist with general registration and the owner of Renshaw Psychology. My career spans over 30 years working across a range of industries including psychological recovery in private practice and organisational settings, rehabilitation, employment placement, disability support and aged care. My experience extends from providing direct care and supervisory support to driving policy development in senior managerial roles.
