About
I am a Counselling Psychologist in private practice in Sandgate, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
I completed my studies at the University of the Witwatersrand. My qualifications are a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and SASL: South African Sign Language) [BA], Bachelor of Arts - Honours in Psychology [BA Hons], BPsyc Equivalent (Psychometrics) (Cum Laude), and Masters in Community-Based Counselling Psychology [MACC] (Cum Laude). I specialized in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, counselling psychology and community psychology with individuals of different ages and walks of life.
I completed my internship at Epworth Children's Village Therapy and Assessment Centre. This included working with children, adolescents, parents and adults on a variety of challenges and concerns; and within the social welfare context. I have also worked at The Centre for Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) as part of a community action group, the local hospitals, Childline and at the Teddy Bear Clinic during my training. My research was in the areas of transracial adoption, family and race relations in South Africa.
Since this training I have increased my skills within psychology practice through experience gained across settings. I have completed further training for developmental assessment and early intervention, diagnosis for neurodevelopmental disorders, working with eating disorders, inpatient supports, and parent-infant psychotherapy. I am also a board approved supervisor and enjoy supporting the development of the profession of psychology.
I have worked in the field of psychology for many years. I have passion for people and being a part of interventions which move them towards positive outcomes.
I started in South Africa in private practice. My practice provided services to outpatients, hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, EAP providers, schools and community projects. I was involved in individual and group therapy in an inpatient psychiatric setting, part of the multidisciplinary team in the ICU, PICU and Paediatric ward, assessment, psychotherapy and training. I now work in Australia meeting the needs of the community I live in and across Brisbane, Queensland and wider Australia via telehealth. I previously worked in regional Tasmania for four years, and continue to support this community via telehealth.
I enjoy supporting complex presentations by combining my interest and training across perinatal mental health, attachment, neurodevelopmental disorders and eating disorders. I work within perinatal mental health, early childhood intervention, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, academic and cognitive assessment, ADHD assessment and intervention, Autism assessment and intervention, and eating disorders, where I am a credentialed eating disorder clinician with ANZAED. I provide NDIS, EAP and Workcover supports as part of my private practice.
I am able to work with a range of clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents and adults within therapy and assessment. I offer both short term and long term intervention.
In me you will find empathy, insight, professionalism and a space to safely work through your support needs.
