Philosophy & Vision
I am a Lacanian psychoanalyst. According to psychoanalysis how we were loved by our parents and family in our childhoods plays a significant role in shaping our adult relationships, from our hobbies and jobs to even how we feel physically in our bodies. Basically, the way we think about ourselves affects how we connect with others, often without us even noticing it.
Background
I have over 15 years experience working in clinical and professional settings. I have a broad and diverse clinical interest and life experience. I am a full member of the Australian Psychological Society. I offer treatment to children, adolescents and adults.
Services
People come initially with many diverse issues and bring whatever concern with themselves to their sessions. We have some sessions initially to talk. It is impossible to say on the outset what the treatment is going to be, or how we might work together without us talking first. There is no manual or one size fits all. The difference is made in the sessions after some time when you talk and I listen very carefully. People I treat express a desire to take ownership over some matter, that has occupied their mind for some time. This is something that becomes pressing for someone, something that repeats in the person’s life. This may be problematic or painful but not accessible to the person for many reasons.
Quality Provision
Becoming a psychoanalyst has required a serious commitment to ongoing clinical supervision and many years of intensive and rigorous personal analysis with my own psychoanalyst and working with analytic supervisors on clinical material.

Therapy Approach
Psychoanalytic therapy / psychoanalysis works with developing an understanding of the person and the contributions of their history in the present time. The psychoanalyst or therapist who has had his or her own psychoanalysis directs the treatment by listening and working with the person to work through the issues that present in the therapeutic relationship or in the transference.
