I have been in private practice since 2006 and working in the area of psychology
since graduating from university in 1993. I have been fully registered as a psychologist
since 1997. I have worked extensively in the area of Mental Health (Adults and
adolescents), as well as domestic violence, child protection and other. See About Me
for more information regarding my work experience.
I predominantly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and am also
influenced by my intensive training and experience in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Referrals can be made by your doctor (including psychiatrists) under Medicare’s Better
Scheme in order to receive significant rebates. I am also a contractor for another
National scheme known as “Better Outcomes” or Access To Allied Psychological Services
(ATAPS) which also requires a similar yet different referral process from your
doctor (see referral process for more info). This is a service for people who are financially
disadvantaged resulting in NO to Minimal cost for sessions. I currently contract for
Brisbane South Division doing a day at Inala. I am also a contractor for South East Alliance
of General Practice and I am in the process of applying to be a contractor for GP Partners
(Northside).
