I am a psychotherapist and clinical psychologist who works with individuals engaging with the aftermath of trauma, experiencing relationship difficulties and navigating life transitions. My primary trainings are clinical psychology, psychoanalysis, somatic (body-centred) psychology, Jungian psychology, emotion-focussed therapy, and the intersections between western and eastern views of the psyche. I also teach meditation and am a registered yoga teacher.
I have experience in a range of settings over many years. In addition to my clinical work I established a national journal for psychotherapists and counsellors; managed a low fee clinic which provided long term psychoanalytic psychotherapy to several hundred patients over a period of approximately 10 years; and conducted clinic based research into the therapeutic experience of patients who have experienced complex trauma. I have presented the results of this research in both Australia and Europe. In 2022 I established an holistic healing and yoga centre in Abbotsford and currently divide my practice between that setting and a practise in Elwood.
