Services Offered…

Assessment Services

I provide detailed assessments for the diagnosis of mental health conditions including post traumatic conditions and dissociative disorders. In addition I can provide assessments such as functional ability assessments, memory, cognitive and learning assessments, including assessments for conditions such as ADHD. I have a lot of experience writing successful reports for accessing the NDIS as well as other services.

I also have experience in vocational counselling and provide vocational and career assessments for individuals. If you are at a ‘change point’ in your life this process can be an invaluable way to help you understand yourself and make wise career choices. For more information about this service, please see the page on vocational assessments and counselling under the ‘services’ section of this website.

Please note that I am not a forensic psychologist and am not able to provide assessments for court or other legal matters.

Supervision and Case Consultation

I provide supervision and case consultation to therapists, across a wide range of areas, but with a particular focus on post traumatic and dissociative conditions. I am a Psychology Board-Approved Supervisor and enjoy supporting early career psychologists by providing caring, thorough supervision. For more information about this service, please see the page on supervision under the ‘services’ section of this website.

Training and Professional Development

I am experienced in providing training and professional development in the assessment and treatment of trauma and the dissociative disorders, and other related matters. I am experienced in providing professional development through webinars and conferences and have provided training both nationally and internationally.

Writing and Research

I have research and writing interests that include: the history of trauma and dissociation; the ‘false memory’ movement; complex trauma and dissociative conditions; and familial, organised and institutional abuse and exploitation. I am always open to being engaged in writing or research projects in these areas.

Counselling Services:

I have been a counsellor for many years, working across a diverse range of areas. However I am unfortunately no longer able to take on new counselling clients. As I do not see this changing in the near future, I do not maintain a wait list. I regret that I am not able to offer referrals to other therapists.

Fees

These fees are for full fee paying clients. Eligible clients can receive a Medicare rebate upon receiving a doctor’s referral. For fee-paying clients some rebates may also be available from your private health fund. Services such as the NDIS, Access Plus and Victims Services have a different fee structure and provide direct payment to me, meaning you have no ‘out of pocket’ expenses.
