I am an experienced Psychologist and Family Therapist and supervisor. I am a member of Australian Psychologist Society and Victorian Association of Family Therapists. I originally worked for a non-Government Organization, but have been in private practice for 15 years. I am a published author, and have written several papers for journals. I am interested in individual and couples counselling. I believe I am warm and caring in my approach. I focus on compassion focused therapy for complex trauma. Freud said "We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love" and I approach my counselling with this saying in mind. I believe I am empathic, supportive and caring in my counselling, and work with a wide range of difficulties. I am particularly interested in attachment disorder and other adult presentations.
