I am a Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist in my 50s who has been in private practice since 1996. For the last 15 years I have specialised almost solely in relationship therapy. I have had some training in all the major models of couple therapy and have qualified as a “Master Mentor” in the Developmental Model. I have developed a reputation as a “straight talker” and as someone who is able to cut to the heart of difficulties.
Since 2004 I have been doing couple therapy by teleconference as a means to follow up on the week-long therapy intensives I have been offering. As a result of my experience during the Covid-19 lockdown, I have decided to shift ALL my sessions (apart from the intensives) online.
As well as my therapy work, I offer training and supervision in the Developmental Model to other therapists as a Director of Relationship Therapy Inc. I also support other therapists as the coordinator of the “Sex Therapy Interest Group”, a network of over 200 health professionals across Australia & New Zealand.
I am married to and work alongside, fellow psychologist Verity Thom, and we have two young adult children. We have been together for over 40 years and are still learning, so I have a strong personal interest in making relationships work well.
