Narrative of Services:

I work both in the public and private sector in Australia and have recently focused my private practice on predominately (but not exclusively) OCD clients and supervision for other practitioners for their OCD clients. OCD has become my area of interest for the past 5-6 years.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

OCD clients are provided with ERP – may include some ACT
Clients with anxiety/depression are predominately offered CBT
My other predominant therapeutic modality is Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and a relational approach to therapy – this is the predominant modality utilised for other presentations.
