MBBS , FRACGP , FASPM

My Client Promise

I am passionate about helping clients who are struggling emotionally. I  work with clients utilising a trauma-informed and client centred approach. I believe empowering clients is integral to helping them become their best self.  I use a practical and supportive approach. 

All humans experience emotional difficulties – I focus on normalising the human experience and providing psycho-education to help clients understand how to work with their mind not against it. As an experienced  GP, I intuitively link the mind and body which allows me to provide care for the whole person within the context of their family and  community.  I work in a collaborative approach with other team members if required.  I can (and prefer) to create a Mental Health Plan for my clients during the first session.   I am  able to prescribe mood medications if needed and refer to specialists if required.
