GradDip Psych, BA (Double Major Psych)
Susan has been a Registered Psychologist since 2006. For almost 15 years, Susan has worked with families struggling with post-separation conflict. Susan acknowledges and empathises with the distress of child and adult clients, and re-focuses parents on their children. Being a child consultant of 12 years, she has experience conducting sessions with children to explore and acknowledge their experience of their family’s separation, including their perception of their parents’ interactions and relationship and their coping ability, through projective tools including sand-tray, stories, art, drawing and talk. Susan is also a Registered Mediator and Approved Supervisor with the Psychology Board of Australia.
Rapidly establishing rapport and highlighting strengths and possibilities for change are some of Susan’s strongest skills. She believes her ability to establish trust through acceptance, warmth, and authenticity, and openness to working creatively are her greatest strengths.
