The people who work with me are often independent thinkers, they're bright and creative. They might also feel isolated, stuck, that there's something missing, or that they haven't yet been heard in a way that allows them to feel a bit freer to really enjoy their lives. Many would say that they feel like outsiders. The people I work with have often had seriously difficult histories. Sometimes they support someone else who suffers. I value working with others of all ages from my LGBTQ+ and GBKS (diversity in gender, body, kinship & sexuality) communities.
I offer Psychoanalysis - we can discuss establishing a weekly or twice-weekly time to embark on a psychoanalysis. I also offer Counselling and am registered with Medicare.
I don't think you'll regret working with me.

I have trained in Psychoanalysis, Attachment Theory, Mentalisation Based Therapy and Cultural approaches to mental illness. I explored linguistic violence in my PhD. This helped me to become more acutely aware of the power of words and language. I'll treat you and your words with care and respect.

I'm happy to work with anyone. I'm especially interested in working with adults who were bright or gifted children; with artists and people who feel themselves to be outsiders in any way, and with bereaved Queer & other people. My other specialisations are attachment issues, long-term depression, schizoaffective & psychotic 'disorders', isolation and unusual thoughts or experiences..

I have been working with Trudy as my supervisor and have found her to be incredibly easy to talk to. She listens, she gently probes and relishes my journey. I come away full of ideas and new understandings. I highly recommend her.
