Helping couples & individuals with relationship issues (improve insight, self-reflection & acceptance). Working with relationship dynamics to improve conflict, recover from affairs, & manage change & life transitions & interpersonal emotional reactions, thoughts, & feelings. Helping clients understand repetitive, unwanted patterns helps people step out of the fray & gain a meta-perspective allowing choices. I don't work with seriour interpersonal violence (physical or emotional) or prepare Court reports/reports, or act as an expert witness).
I am an experienced clinical & counselling psychologist, helping couples using a variety of counselling modalities. My personal style as a counsellor is dynamic and interactive, respectful, compassionate, tempered with humour.
I like to see the people who come to see me as people first, rather than diagnoses or a problem to be treated. I believe that insight and understanding can help people to integrate their thoughts and feelings and lead to greater well-being. Medicare may be available for individual therapy, but not coupes (possibly private health extras rebates).
