Practice

My practice is informed by psychoanalysis. This involves inviting that patient to speak freely and openly, and listening with attention to what is unconscious. Psychoanalytic-informed therapy is suitable for working with a wide range of symptoms and invites the possibility of creative approaches to long-standing issues. 

When contacted by a new patient, the first step is a brief phone call to get a sense of the reason for seeking therapy and to answer any initial questions. If it seems a psychoanalytic approach might be of interest, then some preliminary sessions are booked in to discuss the patient’s concerns in more depth, take a history, and to decide if further work would be beneficial and of interest. Psychoanalytic therapy is particular to the individual and no two treatments are the same.

I am a member of the Freudian School of Melbourne – School of Lacanian Psychoanalysis, in addition to being an AHPRA registered and endorsed Clinical Psychologist. I have completed the following tertiary qualifications: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Commerce (University of Melbourne); Bachelor of Arts Honours – Psychology (Swinburne University); Doctorate of Psychology – Clinical Psychology (Swinburne University).

Supervision

Supervision is essential for self-reflection, learning, and growth in professional practice. I am an accredited supervisor, registered with AHPRA, and able to provide supervision for: provisional psychologists 5+1 programs, Clinical Psychology Registrars, and registered psychologists or counsellors who wish to have a space to reflect on and discuss their work.
