About

I am a psychologist with decades of experience in helping people focus on, and create, the lives they want. The first step is usually overcoming the self-imposed barriers that stop progress!

I have formal qualifications as a Registered Psychologist and lots of practical experience.

In addition to my work with clients here is a general outline of my career to date. 

• Psychologist at St Vincents Hospital Sydney

• Psychologist at Langton Clinic in Surry Hills specialising in substance abuse

• Qualitative Researcher in the private sector

• Strengthsfinder® Coach and Trainer – Gallup Consulting

• Strategic Consultant – Psychological Wellbeing in the workplace

• Clinical Supervisor of Organisational Psychology Students - Macquarie University

I am also:

• A Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher- I have trained with Kristen Neff at Esalen in California

• An addictions counsellor, I am familiar with, and supportive of 12 step programs and can integrate this approach into counselling.

• A Gallup trained Strengthsfinder® Coach. This assessment of natural talent has been taken by millions of people around the world to understand their own style and what they do best.  For the Strengths-minded people out there, my Top Five Strengths are: Connectedness, Communication . Activator . Strategic. Individualization.

• An accredited Focusing Trainer. Focusing is a method of paying attention to the way issues are held in the body. Here is a link for those interested: https://focusing.org/

I focus on the application of psychology and coaching to create a fulfilling life. My belief is that although talking through issues is necessary, taking supported action steps is where real change happens.

Finally, everything I use with clients I have experienced myself and know that it works.
