I specialise in depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, relationships, and male psychosexual and sexuality issues, with a focus on LGBTQ+ clients using an identity-affirming approach.
I only work by telehealth from Melbourne.
I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at University College London in 2003, with training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), schema therapy, and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
My main approach today is acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based method for managing thoughts and emotions, and connecting to your values. I integrate CBT, schema therapy, DBT, ACT, and supportive counselling according to your needs.
Earlier in my career I worked in social work, HIV/AIDS and sexual health counselling, and as a clinical psychologist in mental health, forensics and university settings in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.
I am Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor (BAS) for other clinical psychologists.
