Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD as Principal Supervisor - email supervisor to discuss availability.
I am a highly experienced Jungian Oriented Therapist and I have worked in the industry for the last 25 years. I have conducted research exploring the therapeutic experiences of young men and I am currently examining innovative teaching methods for psychotherapists, and how best to prepare them for initial practice. In addition, I have strong interest in all facets of child and adolescent mental health and welcome inquiries from potential research students in this area. I am also interested in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and have had extensive experience in working with trauma related client presentations and have supervised Doctoral Students in this area. Finally, I have a strong interest in studies that may possess a degree of Jungian related conceptual approaches.

I have had many years experience in gaining funding in the community setting. I currently work as the Clinical Practice Lead, part time for a Non-Government Organization, Not For Profit, SYC. Over the last 20 years, in various industry positions, I have been successful in gaining in excess of $4,000,000 in successful grants.
I currently teach in the Paediatric Mental Health Unit, in the School of Medicine. I teach fifth year medical students through their child and adolescent psychiatry rotation. Much of my professional work has focused on trauma informed practice, its treatment and psycho-therapeutic applications towards healing and resilience in these populations.
