    What are three strengths you have as a Psychologist/Counsellor?
    1. Empathy
    2. Compassion
    3. Good communication skills
    What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

    Having to opportunity to work with a diverse of range clients, all with such a wide range of presenting problems. No two days or even two hours are the same and the feeling of accomplishment and seeing clients not only find comfort in therapy but gain perspective and clarity in themselves is enormously rewarding.

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

    A couple come to me for relationship counselling, both had issues from their previous relationships that were impacting on their relationship, including some significant trust issues. Over the period of a few months we worked through each of their individual issues and brought trust back into their current relationship.
