Consulting Psychologist
Clinical and Forensic Services
Member of the Australian Psychological Society
Having worked in the social welfare sector for over 20 years I am a strong advocate of client self-determination. Many people experience events in their lives that impact on their capacity to deal with their day-to-day needs. Under certain circumstances we can begin to doubt ourselves, to question our experiences and to feel overwhelmed with the emotions and feelings that impact on behavior.
