With a spirit of refusing to adhere to insular and segregated fields of practice I continually seek to cross borders to bring together a thoughtful and intricate practice based on my experience and knowledge as a narrative therapist, trauma specialist, writer, teacher, film protagonist and creative consultant.
I started out as an Australian social worker who has spent the last 14 yrs developing and engaged in therapeutic alliances and conversations with people across a number of countries and contexts (Australia, Mongolia, Benin, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Palestine, Turkey, Ukraine Germany, Belgium, Greece, UK, Spain) including providing torture and trauma counselling on Christmas Island and continuing to work alongside people seeking asylum through a film project with Gabrielle Brady, Island of the Hungry Ghosts (feature) and The Island (short).
My Qualifications
I received my Bachelor in Social Work from Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia and my Masters with Honours in Narrative Therapy and Community Work from the University of Melbourne. I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers and a teacher for the International teaching faculty of Dulwich Centre. I am an honorary clinical fellow of the school of social work, University of Melbourne and have been a tutor in the Narrative Therapy and Community Masters course for the past 5 years. I am currently in the process of having my degrees recognised by the French Agence régionale de santé PACA. In the meantime, I am practicing as a freelancer with the title of narrative practice consultant - online and face-to-face in multiple countries and contexts.
