I have over 25 years of experience as a psychologist, providing psychological-based
                  interventions and counselling with clients at all ages and stages of life. My clients
                    come from school, business, corporate and military settings as well as private,
                        medical and community referrals.

                           I am passionate about assisting my clients to grow in confidence, achieve
                             positive personal change, growth and resilience. My warmth and care for my clients allows relaxed rapport with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I will support you to achieve your goals in seeking counselling.

My experience in trauma counselling began in the military and continued while working as a trauma psychologist providing support for essential personnel and in national disasters. I have also provided counselling and support in schools for physically and intellectually disabled children and their families while developing and maintaining strong, community networks.
