Welcome

I am a Clinical Psychologist in full-time Private Practice. I have over 25 years experience in providing Psychological Services within Western Australia, and have spent some time as a Drug and Alcohol Counsellor with the American Army. I have worked in a variety of Public Service settings including Graylands Hospital, Swanbourne Hospital and Swan Outpatient Clinic. This has given me a broad range of experience from mild psychological problems to severe psychological dis orders.

My speciality is in tailoring the therapeutic approach to suit the individual and his/her circumstances. I have training in Cognitive- Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Family Therapy and Self Psychology (a psychodynamic approach) as well as the therapeutic adjuncts of Hypnosis and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing).

Generally the first, or possibly the first two or three sessions would be of a diagnostic nature. In the event of a more extended diagnostic period i.e. more than one session, this usually involves a trial of a particular therapy to see if it is suitable for the person to work with, as well as whether they can work with me or I with them. A discussion with the individual of findings and recommendations on how to proceed are part of this process.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information.
