​
As a qualified Clinical Psychologist since 2002 I've had the privilege of working with people with a broad range of needs in varied countries and settings. Currently I work with people managing depression, pre and post natal depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, self-harm and eating disorders.
I use cognitive behavioural therapy and draw on techniques and experience in Schema Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
I have four engaging children and, since training in Adelaide, have lived and worked in Adelaide, London, Sydney and Hong Kong. I am currently residing in Singapore.

Therapy that makes a difference
Therapeutic Background and Experience
I've been privileged to work with people as a Clinical Psychologist for over 15 years. I have been a member of the Australian Psychological Society with a specialty in Clinical Psychology since 2003. Most recently I've worked in private practice in Hong Kong, seeing adolescents and adults from an international community. As a Clinical Psychologist in private practice I saw those struggling with depression, anxiety, pre and post natal issues, work stress, self harm and trauma.
​
Prior to this I worked in Sydney in private practice, again seeing those of all ages with a broad variety of mental health concerns. I also worked as part of a an Adolescent Mental Health Team, providing therapy for those with significant mental health concerns. For a period of time I developed my own business supporting families with their children with mental health and behavioural challenges in their homes.
​
This followed on from years in London working with experienced teams in the areas of child and adolescent mental health along with young offenders and older adults.
​
I started my career working in Adelaide supporting children with special needs and their families in child care centres across the south of the city.
​
This diverse background and varied work environment has provided me with a broad range of therapeutic experiences.
What does Clinical Psychology Involve?
It can be a little overwhelming when first making an appointment with a Clinical Psychologist. It can help to have a clear picture of what to expect.
​
At your first appointment I will spend some time getting some basic information from you with a few forms and then we will work together to discover what you would like support with and how you would like to feel different. We will come up with a plan to work towards this. This usually involves weekly appointments in the short term.
​
Each appointment lasts for 50 minutes.
​
Please feel free to contact me via email at any stage to make an appointment.
​
I work from a cognitive behavioural perspective, but also draw on experience in a range of therapeutic techniques. These include schema therapy, positive psychology and dialectical behavioural therapy. As our work together evolves I integrate the best approach for you and your goals. I will spend time explaining theory and processes in the sessions.
