My therapeutic approach has a foundation in humanistic, strength-based counselling, and Emotion Focussed Therapy. Whilst primarily working with individuals, I prefer to also include partners and family as much as possible to ensure wrap around support and improve outcomes.

I have been a university lecturer in addiction counselling for 24 years, and an international trainer for psychologists and other allied health professionals in the areas of adults with autism, addiction, well-being, motivational interviewing, and supervision skills. I am an accredited psychology supervisor and supervisor trainer with AHPRA in Australia, and provide ongoing consultancy to the government around strengths-based responses and policy.

I trained in the UK and Australia where I gained my registration as both a Counselling and Clinical Psychologist. Over the past 20 years I have specialised in the treatment of addiction, as well as assessment and coaching for neurodiverse adults, primarily those with autism/ Asperger’s.
