My name is Jen. I am a Psychologist, Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (ISTDP Trained with IEDTA), NDIS Psychologist, SIRA Approved Practitioner (Workers Compensation), Career Counsellor, and Educator.
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a therapeutic approach I prefer to use, as research has shown it to be effective � even for people who haven�t gotten relief after years of traditional therapy. I have completed a 3-year core training in ISTDP (after my psychology studies) and am currently studying ongoing advanced training. ISTDP focuses on supporting a person's emotions and internal conflict. It is tailored to your specific needs and strengths, and the therapist and client work collaboratively in a safe space to address deeper issues, trauma and face difficult feelings that may have been locked away for a long time.
ISTDP uses a more active and focused approach and can achieve lasting, significant improvement for a large range of problems.
