Training

I have a strong study and research mind and am continuously studying and attending training to improve my work and support of my clients.

I’ve completed undertaken training across several areas including zen based psychotherapies, psychoanalysis, family therapy, phenomenological approaches, psychodrama, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, positive psychology, Morita Therapy and mindfulness theories.

I am an endorsed Teacher and Supervisor by the IEDTA – International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association and run Core training programs and Advance training.

I regularly attend conferences and provide lectures locally and globally. I’ve previously guest lectured for the University of Phonm Pehn in Cambodia, Miazaki University in Japan, Friends international in both Cambodia and Laos and OXFAM, and at the City University of Hong Kong for their Psychology Doctorate program.

As well as English, I’m psychotherapeutically fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.

In 2019 I was awarded the Order of Australia Medal – OAM for my services to the Brazilian Community as a psychologist.
