My work interests and competences straddle the fields of clinical, forensic, health, counselling, and community psychology. Work abroad with academic and research institutions, governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental organisations immersed me in applications of psychology to public health, mental health and well-being, and behaviour change and therapy. In Australia since 2007, I have been privileged to provide individual and group therapy services to clients from diverse demographic and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy working out solutions to challenging problems, and engaging clients in developing sustainable coping effectiveness.
