I am a registered clinical psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). In the doctoral thesis, I researched the psychological adjustment of children with diabetes type one and their mothers. One of the findings was a connection between children’s glucose levels and mother’s mental health. Overall training in therapy was psychodynamic and client-centred. For long-term therapy, the style in this practice is relational and existential.
Since 2008, my professional experience has been in treating disorders, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, personality, family of origin problems, sleep, postnatal depression, suicidality, self-esteem, addiction, relationship problems and workplace stress. Alongside clinical practice is twelve years’ experience at aged care facilities, counselling for adjustment from a normal independent lifestyle to dependent residential care. My main interest is in adults at any age or stage who struggle with sense of self.
