BA, Post Grad Dip Psych, M Clinical Psyche

I am an endorsed clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience and I have been in private practice since 2008.

After training at the University of New England, the University of NSW, and Bond University, I focused on public health in the community, and specifically, mental health and inpatient services.

In the therapy I offer, I use a range of evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for the treatment of:

Anxiety
Depression
Trauma
Bipolar Affective Disorder and Psychosis
Parenting
Life transitions
Veteran health
Grief and loss support
Relationship distress.

Supporting people to develop healthy relationships is my passion, and I work across the spectrum of individual and couple interactions.

I am working towards certification in Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) with the Australian Centre for Emotion Focused Therapy, as certified by the international ICEFT body (www.iceeft.com).

EFIT and EFT make emotion the focus, and emotion is the message and the messenger of love. Emotional isolation can be traumatic and debilitating. EFT assists us to navigate our inner world and helps to expand our emotional awareness so that we can connect to the people who are most important to us. The more we know our inner world, the stronger our relationships with others will be.

I work with individuals and couples in a collaborative way that is client-focused. I believe that therapy is all about meeting needs in a safe and respectful space, and I look forward to working with you to help you resolve and manage your relationship requirements.
