NEW GROUND PSYCHOLOGY

I am a fully registered psychologist working in Woodend, Victoria (registration: PSY0001819511). I obtained a PhD and a Masters degree in psychology from the University of Melbourne, and have since helped hundreds of people with a broad range of difficulties.  ​I enjoy helping people to look deeply in order to increase their awareness of their inner processes, and how they relate to their presenting difficulties, allowing them to uncover and relinquish old patterns of thinking and relating. By identifying these patterns and their origins, I help people to free themselves from destructive internal mechanisms, and achieve their goals.​I tailor therapy to each individual client based on their needs and capacities, and utilise evidence-based therapeutic modalities drawn from the psychodynamic and cognitive traditions including; intensive short term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), internal family systems (IFS), accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), and pain reprocessing therapy (PRT).

 

​Prior to beginning private practice in 2019, I worked across a range of healthcare settings including in treating functional neurological disorders, acquired brain injury inpatient and outpatient services (Epworth Healthcare Camberwell and Richmond, The Alfred Hospital) and a specialised concussion clinic (Epworth Hawthorn).
