I am a registered Psychologist and have been involved, in a range of capacities, in the human services sector with various community-based agencies, and as a private practitioner since the 1980s. I have worked in personnel and recruitment services in government, in relationships counselling services, community-based detox and rehabilitation centres, family support services, specialist counselling service for adults who experienced abuse as children/young people, and crises services.
As a result I offer a diverse range of skills and experience around personal and workplace processes, about transition and human resilience about systemic/organisational dynamics and change. As such I find I engage clients around positive psychology issues of growth and change and personal and professional development. I have also provided coaching around workplace processes and interactions for managers in small and medium businesses. I regularly work with individuals and families referred by General practitioners to facilitate coping with life transitions and personal crises.
I enjoy a balance between working with both positive psychology and clinical issues within my client group. Resilience, creativity and strengths, as well as an awareness of the systemic influences in which clients operate are useful foci for both interpersonal growth and professional success and the more troubled periods of an individuals experience. I work in a holistic way with all parts of the individual within all contexts of positive and negative experience.
I offer coaching, counselling, and supervision services to individuals, couples, families and other groups.
