East Maitland,NSW

Summary

I would like to build on my knowledge base with new training and supervision opportunities.

I have maintained supervision with my current

supervisor beyond my provisional registration year becauseI value collaboration and receiving a more experienced opinion. To this end, I will

be looking to complete the Master of Clinical Psychology (Advanced) – 1-

year masters to pursue a clinical psychology endorsement.

I have a keen interest in increasing my understanding of all things’

psychology, beginning with EMDR – to be completed early 2025, and then

further training around ACT. I would like to help people to

help themselves

and I believe that if I can bring as many skills, and as much knowledge as I

can, then that will help in honoring my commitment to the path of my

clients.
