Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

Over 20 years experience in Mental Health. Margot is particularly interested in the mind/body relationship and is certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Trauma and Attachment, and completed Level 2 Internal Family Systems. These approaches work from a 'bottom up' perspective focusing on where trauma plays out - through physical symptoms and emotional dysregulation and are therapies recommended by the Blue Knot foundation. A great advantage of body focused therapies is that there is no need for the event/s to be re-told, which can be both distressing and re-traumatising.
Additional training includes: EFT (tapping), Art Therapy, DBT, Workshops with Janina Fisher (Overcoming Trauma-related Shame and Self Loathing) and Bessel van de Kolk and workshops with Blue Knot.
Margot has worked in both In-patient and Community Mental Health and has a thorough understanding of how these institutions can impact on patients and become traumatic themselves. She has been in private practise as a psychotherapist for the last 5 years.

As a Mental Health Accredited Occupational Therapist, Margot is eligible for Medicare rebates for focused psychological therapies with a Mental Health Care Plan.
