ACC Counselling
I am an ACC approved provider as a Psychologist with Pain Management & Rehabilitation Services delivering assessment and counselling for sexual abuse, pain management and psychological services for mental injury as a result of physical or work injury. Please visit the PMARS website for more information on the services covered.
Trauma & PTSD
When we experience painful and traumatic events, it is normal for many of us to struggle with problems we did not have before. Overwhelming feelings of anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are some emotions which can linger long after traumatic events. Therapy can help us understand why we are struggling, learn how to live with our pain without added suffering, and guide us through the process of growth and healing.
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. With help, you can learn that having these emotions is normal and human, and that trying to control them is part of the problem adding to suffering. Through counselling and therapy we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Applied Behaviour Analysis
All behaviour has a purpose and a function. Applied Behaviour Analysis uses strategies derived from the principles of behaviour to change behaviour which is socially significant and uses data collection procedures to determine the variables controlling the behaviour. As a behaviour analyst and Psychologist, I have learned to teach people to perform skills to help them live more independent lives and increase their quality of life. I have also learned to work with challenging behaviours using evidence-based interventions to teach functionally replacement behaviours which help individuals to enjoy life to their fullest potential.
