I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental therapeutic space

With my extensive professional background as a Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist, and Occupational Therapist, I have acquired over 40 years of specialised experience working across a broad range of therapeutic settings including Psychiatric Hospitals, Youth Counselling Services, and Relationship and Sexual Health Clinics situated in two countries, Australia and Germany.

Through my diverse career path, I have obtained proficiency across multiple psychotherapeutic modalities, all of which have been incorporated into my therapeutic approach, aiming to provide my clients with the best-suited treatment approach according to their specific needs. I also offer clinical hypnotherapy for client’s wishing to explore this approach to support their wellbeing.

A highly individualized and integrative approach

In addition to my extensive experience in the field of psychology, I also have teaching experience at several internationally recognized institutions, including the School of Occupational Therapy in Dusseldorf, Germany, the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Perth, and the School of Psychology at Murdoch University Western Australia.

My treatment approach is highly individualized and integrative, bringing together a range of evidence-based treatment modalities in combination with the unique needs of each client. Therapy sessions with me aim to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore and understand their difficulties while being supported and guided towards positive change.

My ultimate goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to explore their resources and strengths while gaining a better understanding of themselves, cultivating the tools and skills needed to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.
