Biography
I have been in private practice for over 18 years seeing adolescent, adult, couple and family clients with a variety of complex life issues and moderate to severe mental health presentations. I have a broad spectrum and integrated range of psychotherapeutic techniques that I can utilize in our therapy including: Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT), Rational Emotive (RET) and Mindfulness, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Existentialist, Relational, Emotionally Focussed and Attachment based Developmental Psychotherapies.
Therapy is tailored to your individual psychotherapeutic needs and goals of therapy are collaboratively decided so you are fully engaged in the decisions and the process.
I also have a passion for supervision and I am a registered PBA Board Approved supervisor and trainer. I also clinically supervise and consult to mental health teams at Youth Focus, St John’s Ambulance WA, and Mission Australia Pilbara Integrated Mental Health Service.
