Background

Born in Manchester in England. Resident of Australia over 25 years. Originally worked as hospital pharmacist, then spells in retail, agricultural and veterinary pharmacy, and research.

I subsequently worked in social work and teaching before entering clinical psychology in 1980. Since then I have worked in prisons for six years, general and psychiatric hospitals for six years, university counselling service one year, drug and alcohol clinics for ten years.

I have operated a private psychotherapy practice for over 20 years. Also, I work as a consultant to Ngala Hospital, Racing and Wagering WA, Perth Human Sexuality Centre, the WA Police and the Commonwealth Department of Defence.

How and with whom I work

I work with teenagers, adult individuals, couples and families. I offer supervision to other professionals. I teach occasional lectures, seminars and workshops. I have studied Jungian psychology extensively and have worked with Robert Johnson in San Diego. Hence my style is eclectic and integrative with roots in gestalt/redecision as well as transference based emotional relearning.

I have travelled India extensively and am familiar with many of its spiritual traditions, currently focussing on Advaita. This, too, informs the context of my work. I am bound by the ethics of my various professional memberships. Confidentiality is limited in cases of proximate harm to self or others. The I - Thou relationship with its 'I'm OK- you're OK' basis is central to TA philosophy and my work.
