Clinical Psychologist
BSc (Hons); DipPsych, MPhil, DClinPsy
I am a UK trained Clinical Psychologist and board approved supervisor who has worked in clinical, research, teaching and consultancy/supervisory roles since 1998 - gaining my Doctorate qualification in 2005. I provide therapeutic services to children, young people and families and supervision to psychology registrars and qualified professionals across disciplines looking to upskill, reflect on or improve their practice. I regularly provide teaching and training to various groups and have been working in Australia (Brisbane’s Northside) since 2016.
I am passionate about supporting clients who are D/deaf or hard of hearing. Although I am hearing, I consider myself very Deaf aware, with a good understanding of how those with a hearing loss are affected by society's responses to their deafness and how this in turn can negatively impact developmental and emotional well being.
I currently hold a Cert 4 in Auslan and am continuing to learn, know British Sign Language to a conversational level, and am familiar with Deaf culture. I use professional interpreters with clients whose first language is Auslan or who prefer signing to spoken word, and work with families of all d/Deaf backgrounds, whether the presenting difficulty is related to their deafness or not.
