What type of Psychologist are you?
I am a warm and open psychologist who enjoys working with diverse presentations. I am compassionate whilst also being direct. I like to maintain a focus on providing efficient services that are well formulated and targeted. The aim is to have clients feel confident that they have the skills to navigate challenges in the future, beyond the therapeutic space.
What values do you bring to your work?
I believe that all Australians are entitled to access psychological services in a timely manner. Treatment should also be efficient and developed in alignment with the latest evidence, whilst considering client’s goals and aspirations.
What do you hope your clients achieve whilst working with you?
I hope that my clients feel comfortable in my presence to share and open up to allow for an ongoing therapeutic relationship. Whilst every client’s needs are different, I like to tailor services to suit individual clients so that they feel that they are getting what they need at the right time.
