Trauma

I understand trauma in all its forms. And I know how to work with trauma without retraumatizing. This is important and I write and teach about it.

Gifted, Creative, Quirky

I understand the challenges of giftedness – raising gifted children and living as a quirky gifted adult. This is one of my clinical interest areas. I write, research and teach about this too.

Mind Body

Our minds are not separate from our bodies. I understand and work with both, and collaborate widely with other health professionals. I have extensive training in body and neuro-psychotherapy.

1:1 Sessions

DESCRIPTION

 My practice is intentionally flexible.  Some people find a standard weekly session useful. For others, longer sessions, less often, is best.  We’ll discuss this together. And things change.  I will understand your needs and offer my advice on how we work together.

RATE

1:1 fees are based on a sliding scale of $145 – $185 per session, depending on your situation.

Please allow for 1 hour per session unless we decide otherwise.

WORKSHOP EXAMPLE

Drop by Drop

This presentation and interactive session provides a unique opportunity for gifted adults to reflect on their experiences of being ‘different’, and how that has shaped their sense of who they are in the world. It also provides a new lens for health practitioners.

I introduce the concept of ‘cumulative relational trauma’ as a way of understanding the origin of some of the emotional ups and downs. This workshop is of interest to gifted, creative and otherwise ‘unusual’ adults (and those who support and love them). People who are curious about their sense of not-fitting, and wanting to move forward.
