The foundation of my counselling is social-justice, compassion and integrity. I am an accredited mental health social worker with over 30 years' experience in clinical mental health settings, community palliative care & aged care. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming), Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I work from a trauma-informed framework which incorporates Attachment theory, Schema Theory and IFS.
I work with older folk who are facing life-transitions, grief and loss and bereavement. I work with carers who struggle with the stresses of the caring role, and I work with individuals who have a history of trauma, severe mental health concerns and who access services through NDIS. I am office-based, I do home visits and I offer telehealth services.
