About
I am a clinical Psychologist working in Melbourne, Australia. I completed my Advanced Level Certification in Individual Schema Therapy in early 2015 and my training program was approved in early 2016: The Schema Therapy Institute Australia. I have recently obtained Advanced level Certification in Group Schema Therapy and look forward to sharing my passion for Group Schema Therapy with other clinicians.

In collaboration with Professor Joan Farrell & Ms Ida Shaw I was heavily involved in developing a Schema Department at The Victoria Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital, that offers Group Schema Therapy in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Pilot data on the effectiveness and feasibility of the 4 week Inpatient Group Schema Therapy Program for Complex Trauma was presented in Vienna.

I have recently resigned as director of the Schema Therapy Department at The Victoria Clinic and have opened a private practice with a close colleague who also shares a passion for Schema Therapy.

Our practice, Psychology Associates Melbourne, is located in Carlton, Victoria, close to the Central Business District. We have a number of clinical psychologists whom practice Schema Therapy and have an interest in Personality Disorders and Complex Trauma. Group Schema Therapy for BPD is also offered at this new location, and is facilitated by myself and a colleague; We hope to collect data on this group program and present any relevant findings at the next Schema Society Conference.

I enjoy both group and individual schema therapy; I'm not sure i have a preference yet!
