Philosophy & Vision
I'm a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, EMDR Consultant, and Resource Therapy Practitioner and Trainer. My main interest in therapy is helping people overcome the inner obstacles that cause them emotional pain and suffering and maintain behavioural patterns that are damaging and self-defeating. I also like to train, coach and mentor other therapists in effective therapies.
Background
When I first started to practice, I felt ill-prepared for the vast range of maladies of the human condition, especially as I was immersed in a setting that had so many suffering from the impact of trauma in childhood. Thus, I embarked on 10 year learning plan that got me where I am now, equipped with all the therapies my practice-based evidence tells me I need, and that satisfies the need for evidence-based practice. I am now well trained in EMDR and Resource Therapy, such that I can effectively treat adult survivors of childhood trauma, and supervise or coach others in trauma focused therapies that are effective alone, or in combination.
Services
I provide trauma-focused psychotherapy to clients and consult with other mental health clinicians on their practice of psychotherapy.
Quality Provision
I generally start sessions checking with how clients are feeling and coping between sessions, ascertaining whether or not the client believes we are "on track" according to what was agreed in the treatment plan we co-created. This way aims to maximise the benefit we can obtain from the number of sessions available to us.

Therapy Approach
I believe that using Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Resource Therapy (RT) together addresses almost all mental illness that doesn't involve an organic component.
EMDR principally addresses disturbing memories from the past that negatively impact a person in the present. RT addresses resource states (also known as states of mind, parts, ego states, and schema modes) that are putting a person 'out of balance', i.e. they are yielding unwanted emotions or unwanted behaviours that are impairing a person's ability to function.
