Qualifications

Experience

I was born in the Catlins where I lived until my late teens. I worked as a science technician before developing an interest in the study of psychology. I taught in intermediate schools prior to undertaking advanced training as a psychologist.

I began my career as a Psychologist in 1977 in the then Department of Education Psychological Service in Levin. I later moved to Chritchurch. I have been in private practice since 1993 and have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of psychological, behavioural, developmental and emotional disorders of children, adolescents and adults. I have had a long association with the Christchurch Polytechnic Student Health centre. I am a Specialist Report Writer for the Family Court which takes me to a number of towns and cities around the country.

I provide supervision to psychologists and counsellors and am ACC registered both as a sexual abuse counsellor and as a provider of psychological services under the psychological services contract.
