Clinical PsychologistI’m a Clinical Psychologist with experience working with people from many walks of life. I grew up locally, and worked in various fields at home and abroad before being inspired to pursue Clinical Psychology training while working with mental health professionals on a human rights consultancy in Indonesia. Since then, I have worked in public health/hospital and private settings, treating issues as diverse as depression and motivational issues, anxiety in its many forms, substance and behavioural addictions, grief and trauma, chronic disease adjustment, and palliative care.
I apply a highly individualised approach to the implementation of evidence-based treatment techniques, which I acquired through my Clinical Psychology training at both the Australian National University, and the University of NSW. I have published academic research myself, focussing on the application of cutting edge cognitive neuroscience discoveries to the practice of psychological therapy, and to our understanding of psychological distress.
Above all, I value a warm, open, and collaborative therapeutic relationship, in which clients feel safe to explore their personal challenges.
