I have also completed a Graduate Certificate in Men’s Behaviour Change.
I have worked in a community setting specialising in this area as well as within schools and private corporate organisations.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Dr Peter Gibbons has a PhD related to Domestic Violence perpetrators and has done significant work in this area. Adri Hunt has worked for 5 years with men who became violent with their partners or children. Treatment and therapy involves dealing with anger and anxiety and developing a healthier sense of self, that is developing self control, self-responsibility and self-agency
Family violence has a devastating impact on many from their early years. We work with the individuals and families to minimise their risk of violence, addressing issues such as communication and values sharing, along with links to other community supports. We are experienced in assessing domestic abuse situations to work on problem-solving approaches that effect long term change while respecting the needs of all involved.
I have worked with young people & their families who have been involved in or have survived domestic violence situations. My trauma informed practice, person centered & strengths based approach allows me to support people in these situations either whilst they are ongoing or once they have moved away from a perpetrator's circle of influence.
