In 2006 I transitioned my practice, located in the Sydney CBD, to work solely with adult individuals. I treated clients with a wide variety of personal and work-related mental health issues. My clinical experience included supporting professionals, executives, and their employees working in public, private and not-for-profit sectors, in particular those under the Employees Assistance Program (EAP), using therapies informed by scientific research.

Since 2017 my private practice has been conducted mainly via Telehealth secure videoconferencing and telephone consultations, delivering evidence-based therapy to a diverse group of clients.
