Qualifications & work experience
After working as a Registered Nurse for several years I trained as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist. This is a specialised training which focuses on the emotional needs of children and young people up to 20 years of age. I qualified as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist in 2000. Since then I have worked in Child & Adolescent Mental Health, within a service which specialised in working with the impact of trauma, and within a service with a focus on strengthening parent-child relationships. I have also had a small private practice since 2005 and am now in fulltime private practice, based in Albany, working with all ages.

Specialism
I work with children and adolescents and their families, as well as individual adults. Issues I can help with include depression, anxiety, grief, the impact of trauma or abuse, confidence issues, relationship difficulties, and anger management. I can also help with parenting dilemmas, and parent-child relationship challenges (all ages).

I work individually with children, adolescents, and adults, and/or with parents or family groups on an as needed and agreed upon basis.

I am also available for supervision related to all aspects of child and adolescent practice.

Fees
I charge $125 for a 50 minute appointment. A WINZ Disability Allowance may be available in some circumstances.

Availability
I have a number of after school and early evening appointments Monday to Friday as well as daytime appointments.
