Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

Having worked as a psychologist in private practice for nearly 20 years, I have increasingly received referrals to work with clients who have experienced trauma. Most of these referrals are word-of-mouth and they come from recommendations from previous clients or other health professionals. A recommendation from a previous client, in my mind, is the best feedback that I can get.

I have advanced and ongoing training in trauma - in particular EMDR therapy, Schema Therapy and Ego State Therapy. My approach always starts with identifying the client's existing resources and developing new resources to support the client through therapy. Creating safety, client-directed pacing and managing intensity of emotions are major emphases of treatment. So that progress can be made with therapy according to what the client wants, goals and a plans are developed and reviewed collaboratively.

My main motivation in working in this area is that it is a real privilege and rewarding to be on the journey with a client to reach their goals. Also because I believe that I can offer support and treatment that can help clients to be able to live with the benefits of strengths gained from their trauma and to reduce the disturbance of the past.

Sessions are held in my consulting room. The option of telehealth is available which provides secure online video consultations.
