However, I can treat individuals with PTSD, provided they do not meet the criteria for DID.

Therapeutic Approaches

I employ a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to ensure that each client receives the best possible care. These include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): a structured therapy that helps identify and challenge negative thought patterns, promoting more rational and helpful thinking.
• Solution-Focused Therapy: a forward-looking approach that helps shift one's mindset from being stuck in the past to envisioning a future without the problem.
• Hypnotherapy: a gentle and enjoyable therapy that uses suggestion to promote relaxation, improve sleep, and enhance self-esteem.
• Schema-Focused Therapy: an in-depth approach that explores the underlying core beliefs that shape one's thoughts and emotions.
• Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy: a powerful approach that connects with the body to increase self-awareness and promote deeper healing.
• Mindfulness: a mindful approach to processing emotions and thoughts, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
• EMDR: a proven and effective therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to process and change stuck negative feelings and beliefs.
• Art Therapy: a creative and expressive approach that helps clients convey their thoughts and emotions through art.

Education and Training

Throughout my career, I have pursued advanced training in specialized areas, including PTSD, Advanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy. As a full member of the College of Clinical Psychologists and the Australian Psychological Society, I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in the field.
