I have developed a successful private practice for the past twelve years first in Sydney, NSW and now currently in Melbourne & the Macedon Ranges as a psychotherapist and counselor of applied psychology and professional supervision to other health professionals to sustain quality delivery in our counselling work.
Living and working in Melbourne CBD and the Macedon Ranges. My work assist individuals to connect and to discover their ‘true self’ as an 'individual' and to gain skills in relationships with partners, work colleagues and others. Understanding ourselves - 'who' we really are, and 'how' we function with 'self' & others', assists us to express what is really happening in our relationships, improves self esteem and helps identify the needs we often seek others to fulfill. I am a skilled and empathic listener working with applied psychology, emotional focused therapy and the Jungian based Sand Tray assisting individuals to enhance and improve life by connecting the conscious and the unconscious worlds with which we operate.
I have fifteen years experience across Primary health - community and residential care specialising in 'lifestyle enhancement' and improve quality service delivery and people management & leadership, counselling and family therapy.
Clients tell me I facilitate a genuine experience of ‘being heard’ and ‘felt understood’ whilst facilitating ‘telling their story’ within a safe trusting environment.
