While working as a Family Doctor, I became increasingly interested in the emotional lives of my patients to the point where I decided to specialise in Psychiatry. I am a long-standing member of the Victorian Association of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists and a member of the United Kingdom Adult ADHD Network ( UKAAN) I am experienced in the assessment and care of those with adulthood Attention Deficit Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Veterans Psychiatry, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, Alcoholism and the Psychoses. I have extensive experience in therapy with patients with family and relationship issues, grief and loss, childhood trauma, workplace physical and emotional injury, including PTSD, and Veterans psychiatry. I offer Supervision in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Mental Health Professionals. I live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, and work in private practice at Langwarrin, in Melbourne’s Southeast, and am Consultant Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist with Southeastern and The Valley Private Hospitals based in Melbourne’s South-East. I have a commitment to regional, rural and remote community mental health services. My personal interests include family, travel through regional and remote Australia, a home orchard and tending the backyard chooks.
