individual therapy & supervision

A corporate escapee, and an avid wanderer of the world. A believer that if you can change your context, you can change anything,  I have a passionate belief in our ability to transcend & transform.

​

I am experienced in psychodynamic psychotherapy, buddhist informed psychology, and CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) based approaches.

 

My psychotherapy and coaching practice is informed by a passion for Buddhist Philosophy, a deep love of travel, South East Asian food, art & culture, fast motorcycles & the joy (and trials) of parenting a teen son.

 

I bring an insightful, determined, focused but balanced & compassionate attention to all I journey beside.

CLINICAL INTERESTS:

​

I have a particular professional interest in the challenges of balancing professional identity with personal needs, and the role perception plays in our experiences of our relationships with self and other.

 

 

​

Clinical Supervision

​

My clinical supervision is informed by my decades long experience in working across complex workplace environments including corporate,  legal, health and social service sectors.

​

I have deep experience in working with complex trauma, addiction, personality disorders and harmful sexual behaviours.

​

With a diverse work history at senior levels, and clinical credentials I am well equipped to assist you in co-creating successful practices in therapeutic and in workplace contexts.

​

​

In all supervision I adopt a pragmatic clinical stance, informed by my interest in buddhist informed therapeutic approaches.​​

 

Approach

​

I offer a structured, collaborative environment where you can engage in deep reflection and analysis of your therapeutic, legal, or health, social service and other organisational contexts through:

  • exploration of complex cases or relational dynamics

  • discussion and debate on ethical dilemmas

  • identification of areas for professional development

  • enhancement of your practice/clinical skills

  • development of a more nuanced understanding of relational dynamics.

 

Outcomes

 

When you invest and commit to clinical supervision, the benefits extend far beyond just you and include:

​

  • refining your communication techniques to improve relational dynamics

  • honing your diagnostic abilities to deliver improved client outcomes

  • strengthening your therapeutic or relational interventions to build better practice

  • empowerment and enablement of your clients

  • greater outcomes for clients

  • increased billable hours

 

Well-being First

 

The demands of the therapeutic, legal and health professions are challenging, and can be emotionally draining. The constant need to navigate complex client issues and maintain professional boundaries can become exhausting.

 

In clinical supervision I seek to provide you with a safe,  supportive and confidential space where you can process these challenges, develop self-care strategies, and prevent burnout.

 

By addressing stress, fostering resilience, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, my intent is to enable you to show up fully for yourself.

 

Only in doing this, can you then show up fully for your relationships, and your clients and sustain a thriving practice.
