I have worked in various mental health settings in Australia and New Zealand for the past 20+ years. I started out working in the area of addictions followed by 8 years of Employee Assistance Programs in Australia. I moved to New Zealand in 2015 and have since worked in private practice. Although my interests lie in body image issues and disordered eating, I also enjoy working with everyday concerns, supporting people to resolve issues that keep them stuck. One of my main modalities is Brainspotting which is a specific neuroscience based therapy. Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the healing therapeutic relationship. Essentially, it taps into the body's self-scanning capacity to process and release those areas that are stuck so that issues can be resolved. I also use CBT, ACT and other evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches.
