I value and appreciate working with clients who have a range of everyday concerns, such as self-esteem, motivation, workplace and family relationships, performance improvement, building assertiveness and confidence, as well as those with mental illnesses requiring support with a GP Mental Health Plan or simply seeking to explore their mental health curiosity. Many of my clients present with depression or anxiety and may have relationship and work issues as well. I adopt an integrated holistic approach to uncovering and addressing their concerns collaboratively, uniquely and individually.
My main areas of work are around negotiating ways through the bumps, roadblocks or crossroads in life, including relationship difficulties (with self, a partner, family member, colleagues or employer). Clients sometimes present with health difficulties such as physical problems, worry about their appearance and pain. You may have had trauma or loss in your life, then I work with you to find ways to accept and grow and develop your strengths to cope and transition your life to include more of what you prefer.
I am an experienced clinical and organisational psychologist, academic, leader, researcher and coach and can guide and support as an individual or your team / company to make changes and explore options and implement interventions to achieve your goals and aspirations.
My therapeutic style is knowledge informed seeking to provide you with a service that suits your needs using a range of therapeutic modalities and interventions. Becoming self-aware and self-determined with respect your goals and uncovering patterns in your life to support the self-learning process that will lead you to decide how you would like those patterns to shape your present and future. My style of therapy can be brief or long term however, most clients benefit from longer engagement so we can build a relationship to help you decide using your lived experience to shine a light on your path. I am skilled and enjoy working with clients seeking to benefit from Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT), traditional CBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. I am currently training in EMDR and Hypnotherapy reflecting my passion for ongoing professional development
