I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a Master of Social Work, Master in Counselling and Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology and have been running a successful practice since 2002. I look to ensure a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship putting people at ease and providing a safe non-judgmental environment. I work with people registered with NDIS, DVA, Work Safe, GP Referral and Self Referral. I do not charge a gap for people with social services cards. I am skilled in several psychological frameworks including CBT, DBT and EFT (tapping).
I have an interest and qualifications in several different fields of counselling including, but not limited to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship counselling, grief and bereavement and Male Family Violence. I do face-to-face and Zoom supervision for those who require it as well as run a Zoom Group Supervision Meeting bi-monthly.
I am fully trained in supervision having completed several supervision courses over the last ten years including more recently a Full Supervision Training Program Parts 1-3 run by The Murtupuni Centre for Rural and Remote Health & the College of Healthcare Sciences, at James Cook University.

Whilst I often use CBT my preferred treatment modality is DBT. The first session looks at your family or origin and issues that have brought you to counselling. Our work will emphasise thoughts and emotions and look at techniques to help you in every day life especially with communication.
