Professional Biography
I have been a registered psychologist since 2006. I have worked in private practice for 12 years (part time) since then as well as 15 years in Therapeutic Communities(TCs). I also worked for Queensland Health AODS part time for 10 years. In terms of trauma I have been treating Complex PTSD since before I became a psychologist (since 2003), this was mainly in TC's where they take a holistic approach to treatment. I have extensive work with standard PTSD from private practice, initially using trauma focussed CBT/prolonged exposure.
I have been trained in Acceptance and Commitment therapy and other third wave CBT's, DBT, mindfulness based approaches etc. I am currently doing supervision to become a accredited practitioner in EMDR. (I did my advanced EMDR training two years ago and have been using it extensively since then).
My approach is relaxed and flexible to create a sense of safety. I believe that trauma processing needs to be done with a sense of choice, safety and empowerment. This can take a while, depending on many different things.
