I completed my six years training in 1997 and am a fully qualified psychologist and member of the APS. I have worked primarily in private practice settings in NSW and QLD since obtaining full registration. I previously worked for five years as a Rehabilitation Counsellor with CRS Australia, assisting people with physical and psychological disabilities return to meaningful employment. I established my practice in Caboolture in 2006. My approach to counselling is relationship focused. The style of counselling is taylored to the needs of each individual person, with particular emphasis on an approach called Acceptance and Committment Therapy (pronounced "act"). The goal of ACT is to help people live rich and meaningful lives while dealing with the inevitable pain and stress that life brings. I have found ACT to be very effective in treating depression, anxiety, and long-standing emotional difficulties. Acceptance and Committment Therapy is a relatively new form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which integrates mindfulness components. Mindfulness is an state of mental alertness which allows you to engage fully in what you are doing in any moment, to reduce the impact of difficult thoughts and feelings. There are some wonderful hand-outs available on the ACT website which I sometimes use during the counselling sessions. In addition to ACT, I am also trained in CBT, brief solution focused therapy, dialective behaviour therapy, critical incident debriefing, motivational interviewing, nature guided therapy and existential therapy.
