I have worked as a psychologist in a variety of settings, including AOD rehab, refuges, women’s organisations (focused on family violence), NDIS realm, and private practice. I work with a broad range of presentations across the lifespan, including personality disorders, complex trauma, bipolar affective disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, addictions, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. I mainly practice psychodynamic psychotherapy, so the way clients relate to themselves, others and the world is often central in the therapy room. Having said this, I also tailor my approach to suit an individual's needs.
My practise is informed by: Psychodynamic and analytic psychotherapy, Transference-focused Psychotherapy (TFP), Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), Mentalisation-based Therapy (MBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Skills-based therapies (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Play-based therapy.
Life is full of ups and downs, and everyone comes in touch with something very difficult or painful to deal with on one's own from time to time. In psychotherapy, your pain and difficulties are spoken and thought about in a way that is meaningful to you. My clients are regularly invited to provide feedback to ensure that sessions are helpful.
