Better thinking ...for good living
Support and counselling are an important components of effective therapy and helping people. Psychologists, and especially clinical psychologists like me, are able to provide additional focussed treatments and techniques which are also very important components to assist with improving well-being, recovery and resolution.
Techniques which are a part of Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT), "mindfulness" techniques, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), hypnosis, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) are recognised by scientists, health insurers like Medicare and medical practitioners as being helpful treatments for people suffering from anxiety, depression, traumatic events, "stress" or "burnout".
In the other headings on the left side of this page, I provide an overview of my specific skills and experience which may be more relevant to you.
In my earlier professional years I worked in such settings as Universities, health and rehabilitation, and at the Vietnam Veterans Counselling Service for 14 years before commencing full-time private practice in 2004. I have worked in post injury rehabilitation, return to work counselling, career/vocational counselling, and as a research officer. I most enjoy spending my time with people, not reading about them or in meetings.
I take great pride in my work and enjoy greatly the privilege of using my knowledge and skills in helping people restore well-being and health.
