About Me

"Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul" Carl Jung |
I have been working as a psychotherapist / counsellor for almost 20 years, predominantly in not-for-profit community organisations and in private practice. In addition to providing generalist counselling and psychotherapy support to individuals, my therapeutic specialisation has been in relationship and family therapy. My professional training includes a Diploma of Individual, Couple and Family Therapy; an Advanced Diploma of Systemic Therapy; a Master of Couple and Family Therapy through the University of New South Wales, Sydney; and a Master of Social Work through Griffith University, QLD.
Below are some of the additional professional training I have undertaken over the last 18 years.
