About Me...
Quirks can cause us problems or hassles at any stage of life, so I work with all ages, from birth to death,
as I don't believe you are ever too young or too old to make the quirks work better for you!
& let's face it , we all have quirks,
& sometimes some of them do tend to cause us problems & get in the way more than they should!
​
Life all through the life span, also tends to throw us (often unavoidable) curve balls at times,
& then we often need a bit of help or a few strategies to help us on our way!
​
My Experience...
I have worked, studied and researched in
Psychology through the Life Span
and in particular Clinical Psychology
for over 30 years now,
having worked in:
​
​Mental Health,
Child Development and
other Government services;
and in University & Government – based Psychological & Psychiatric Research
and Policy Development.
I have worked in
Private Practice for 25 years,
undertaking private,
government funded
& contract work in that time.
​
Over the past 25 years
I have also provided Professional Training

My Specialization...
My Approach...
My therapy approach is usually
practical and problem-focussed,
aiming to be both
Reactive (addressing current difficulties)
& Proactive (addressing possible future risks & difficulties).
​
So I adopt a somewhat eclectic approach
focusing primarily on practical,
Cognitive Behavioural,
Behavioural,
Play,
Mindfulness,
Solution-Focussed,
Family Therapy,
Couples Therapy,
Group Therapy,
and Creativity & Craft
based approaches.
​
