Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

I have worked for 34 years as a clinical psychologist in a range of areas. I have experience in working with people who have experienced trauma within a variety of contexts. My approach is trauma informed. This means, for me, acknowledging that the majority of human suffering is based on exposure to deeply disruptive or abusive experiences which leads to the development of neurophysiological, psychological and emotional adaptation as a way of coping with, or moderating, the effects of traumatic stress. My approach to helping is to explore the adaptations that have been made, honour them as survival strategies, and work on re-assimilating fragmented aspects of identity and behaviour.
