Psychologist, BA, Grad Dip Psych, MPsych, MAPS, Assoc ASH
Since the 2009 Bushfires, I have worked with clients and organisations to assist with acute and chronic trauma. These have included workplace bullying, childhood trauma, motor vehicle accidents and victims of crime. I receive referrals from TAC, Worksafe and VOCAT.
Understanding trauma and trauma diagnoses such as PTSD is crucial for any successful therapy. Our therapists have many years experience in working with trauma and its consequences, whether that be a one-off traumatic incident or cumulative traumas that may result in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Therapy may include a range of approaches that are well-researched and found to be effective in practice, related to safe graduated exposure therapies or creative therapies that incorporate adjunct therapy such as art therapy or visualisation around recovery.
