Who Am I?
My style is warm and focused, challenging and compassionate and dedicated to helping people heals their pasts, improve their present and future lives and achieve their lifestyle goals.
I completed an honours level degree majoring in psychology, and a master’s degree researching a forensic psychology topic, and a diploma in alternative medicine. As a keen student I won three university scholarships and an invitation to the Golden Key International Honours Society.
With a curiosity for trauma I began my career, whilst at university, working for eight years in a psychiatric hospital. I then moved to Australia in 2016 to train and register with AHPRA as a psychologist and further my trauma focused speciality by working with traumatised youth, as well as working in various private practices treating a variety of presentations.
My career has turned to understanding the power of the subconscious mind, its power over thoughts, mood, behaviour, and hence personality. I completed post-graduate training in clinical hypnosis with the Australian Society of Hypnosis. I am now focused on EMDR to help people process frozen memories or trauma.
