ACT/CBS Background and Training: I discovered ACT about 15 years ago, as more than a therapy modality - it is a lifestyle I believe in passionately and practice personally. Since that time I have voraciously read all major ACT textbooks, attended Russ Harris' training workshops, (including the ACT Advanced Workshop and ACT Boot Camps), and also workshops by Robyn Walser. I have also been fortunate enough to attend a training session under Kelly Wilson - one of the 'founding fathers' of ACT and the ACT World Conference in 2022. I have just submitted my doctoral thesis for the PhD/Master(Clinical) program at the School of Psychology, University of Adelaide and currently awaiting the result of the examination process.. I currently practice as a psychologist in private practice, with interests in the areas of complex trauma, chronic pain and complicated grief.
ACT/CBS Experience: 12 years +
Additional Information: ACT is about learning new ways to relate to unwanted and uncomfortable inner experiences (thoughts, emotions, attitudes, memories, sensations) so they have less influence and impact on life affirming actions. This enables living a fuller, richer, more meaningful life regardless of external circumstances.
