Biographical Info
I am an experienced clinical psychologist as well as academic researcher and hold a Senior Lecturer adjunct position with UNSW (University of New South Wales). As a clinical psychologist, I use a collaborative, client-focussed, strengths-based approach when working with clients to address their difficulties. I respect all clients and their uniqueness, as well as the diversity of challenges people bring to therapy. I am here to work with you as someone who has lived a full life and experienced some of life’s challenges. I recognise and respect the courage often needed to address mental health concerns and other difficulties in our lives, as well as the desire to gain greater insight and self-responsibility. I find it exciting and a privilege to work with clients and share parts of their journeys. I look forward to meeting and working with you. I provide assessment, counselling and treatment for adults and older adolescents, as well as couples. The areas where I can help clients include a range of behavioural, emotional and relationship difficulties:
- depression, sadness, and grief
- anxiety, worry, and panic attacks
- post-traumatic stress
- stress management
- anger management
- dependence and addiction (e.g. gambling, drugs, alcohol, etc)
- emotional dysregulation
- erratic and unwanted behaviour
- sexual and gender identity as well as other identity challenges
- relationship difficulties
- challenges in living with chronic illness
