Medicare Psychologist Provider

Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Telehealth available

I have over 35 years' experience working as a Clinical Psychologist and am trained to treat both children and adults. I provide supervision to Clinical Psychologists and Counselling Psychologists working with both adults and children. I worked for over 15 years at the University of Western Australia as a part time staff member supervising the clinical practice of post graduate Masters and PHD students in Clinical Psychology.

I completed psychoanalytic training with the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Association of Australia in 1988 and have established a part time private practice for the last 30 years.

I also worked for the state government in the areas of both adult and child psychiatry as well as child development for the first 30 years of my clinical practice.

My current practice is predominantly treatment of adults with depression, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues, trauma and chronic health issues.
