I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been engaged in this field for over 24 years. I first worked in the public mental health system and then in student counselling before establishing my private practice in 2003.
I have a Master's degree from La Trobe University where I studied and trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have also studied psychoanalysis through the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis (ACP) in Melbourne.
Both psychoanalysis and CBT inform the way in which I listen to matters expressed to me by clients, and how I then formulate a treatment approach for each individual.
