I am a Psychologist and Counsellor working in Huntingdale-Thornlie Western Australia.
Apart from the usual "fee for service" arrangements I can provide psychological services under Medicare (with a GP referral), as well as via Skype.
My areas of interest and expertise include:
* Adjustment issues
* Anxiety
* Alcohol and other Drugs (AOD)
* Carer's issues
* Depression
* Domestic Violence (offenders in particular)
* Family of Origin issues
* Grief and Loss
* Gay and Lesbian counselling
* Self Esteem
Recognising there is no "one-size-fits-all" method for assisting a client, I will use a variety of ways of working, taking into account the presenting issue, the client's circumstances or preference and anything else that may be relevant.
Depending on the circumstances this may mean;
* Mapping things out on a whiteboard;
* Just listening to your story or simply being a "listening ear";
* Assisting with gaining a different perspective;
* Practising or looking at alternative ways of interacting with others;
* Looking at the "deeper" or "underlying" issues.
With all of these activities, happening in a safe confidential setting.
