Areas of Expertise
Cancer Psychology
Cancer can be an overwhelming and life changing event. Having someone to walk along side you and provide direction can help to reduce distress and enhance coping. I have extensive experience in psychological support through the shock of diagnosis, navigating treatment and life after or living with cancer. Having worked at The Cancer Society, Canteen, and in both public and private cancer settings, I provide expertise in the area of cancer psychology.

Health Psychology
Health Psychologists are trained to understand how acute or chronic illness can affect psychological well being and to provide effective ways of coping. I have worked in cardiology and diabetes services as well as experience working with numerous health conditions such as degenerative disorders or recovery from an acute accident or illness. I work with you to understand your patterns of coping and adjustment and help you to establish a plan towards psychological wellness.

I am trained in a number of effective interventions such as CBT, ACT and mindfulness to reduce symptoms and enhance coping and quality of life.
