I commenced my private practice in 2001 and since then I have worked with hundreds of people from the community who have sought help for a range of issues. Due to shared clinical interests I joined with Justine to set up the Good Mood Clinic in 2008 and since then we have built a practice which focuses on understanding and changing psychological vulnerabilities and not just symptom relief. My specialty areas include: depression; borderline & other personality issues; complicated grief; adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse; relationship issues & couples therapy, infertility / IVF support and parenting issues (eg, emotion coaching). My experience thus far has highlighted for me why it is so important to be an informed integrative therapist – someone who draws from different modalities to more effectively help those in need. Therefore I use: experiential methods (eg, imagery with rescripting; chair work); cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness training and clinical hypnosis interventions. I completed my advanced certification in Schema Therapy and am passionate about this therapy due to its ability to understand complex issues and resolve long-term unhelpful patterns. Earlier on I worked in clinical research and formerly held the position of Senior Research Fellow at the Black Dog Institute. I have also worked in several clinical roles outside of private practice including facilitating Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) groups and hospital work and have consulted in business as a coaching psychologist assisting Managers better understand their own personality styles and how they affect the people around them. I am also an experienced trainer & educator and have conducted numerous workshops for psychologists and therapists (sexual abuse; schema therapy; personality disorders) since 2005 and have worked in adult education. Lastly, I have a strong professional and personal interest in Buddhist psychotherapy and mindfulness practice. I incorporate this where possible and encourage my clients to practice meditation and develop self-compassion and understanding. - See more at: http://www.goodmood.com.au/index.php/meet-our-therapists/#gemma
