I grew up in Australia and have lived mainly in Brisbane (Queensland). For over 20 years, I volunteered as a crisis counsellor with LifeLine while working during the day in IT roles specialising in building and integrating Electronic Health Care systems.
When the opportunity arose, I completed the study required for registration as a psychologist and supervision for endorsement as a Counselling Psychologist. I have long held an interest in trauma and more recently I have made this a focus of my work both in private practice and also when facilitating therapy groups.
When I am not working, I like to be outdoors walking, cycling and generally in nature.
I am very motivated to provide support to people directly impacted by the invasion of Ukraine.
