    How many years counselling experience do you have?

    Over 20 years experience working with patients and clients in a clinical setting- both in the counselling arena and medical science.

    What are three strengths you have as a Psychologist/Counsellor?

    Empathy, the ability to guide, make changes and move in a positive direction for growth. My medical science background gives me advanced medical knowledge that in unison with psychology provides not only a greater understanding but a holistic approach.

    Completing my Masters has also added to my knowledge and qualifications in relationships, love and sexual health both with couples and with individual clients.

    Additionally further training with professionals like Drs John and Julie Gottman (level 2 clinical training) and Terry Real allows practical clinical methodologies to applied. My commitment to further academic study, increasing my knowledge benefits clients- on an ongoing and ever increasing awareness of research and greater understanding of human behaviour.

    What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

    My most satisfying part of the role is making a difference to peoples lives, seeing personal growth in clients and results achieved. Additionally providing a safe, non judgemental space where clients feel comfortable is a great privilege.

    What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

    A couple who felt that there was no path for forgiveness, afraid and uncertain of the future -not only gained skills that allowed them to redefine their relationship- and create and new authentic space, but to watch them fall in love all of again. As the client commented- they were not only falling deeper in love, but were enamored by their partner. This is not an isolated event but certainly one that made me feel privileged to witness.
