My work focuses on working with people who are struggling with their emotional world, have repeated problems in relationships, or have difficulty with their sense of who they are. I have significant experience working with people in recovery from trauma, and also offer supervision to people working in helping professions.
I hold many years experience in the health & welfare sectors in Melbourne, and have experience working with people with a range of health issues, as well as people affected by trauma, homelessness, long term unemployment, mental health or drug and alcohol issues. I have been working in private practice since 2007 and have also worked in a community agency with people who have experienced violence.
Gestalt therapy is the foundation of my approach to psychotherapy (to which I add elements from other psychological therapies). Gestalt therapy is a type of psychotherapy therapy that emphasises understanding how emotional processes unfold in the present.
