About me.....
My name is Ian, and I am a psychologist with general registration with AHPRA. I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and have SIRA accreditation (NSW).
Before commencing in private practice, I worked with a not-for-profit mental health provider in rural NSW in recent years, after completing my master's degree.
I enjoy supporting people from various backgrounds with various challenges - helping people to help themselves is what I am all about!
I am engaged in regular professional development to ensure I continue to deliver quality, person-centred, evidence-based support for people.
I consider myself to be personable and empathetic, with a genuine interest in hearing every person's unique story and to offer hope and support in finding solutions and achieving goals. |
