Background

I am a medical practitioner specialising in hypnosis and counselling. I graduated from Monash University 1981. My background in general practice included nutritional medicine, allergy desensitisation, herbal medicine, stress management, meditation, and yoga. Treating the whole person rather than just symptoms has always been a natural interest for me and has lead me to the point where I now practise exclusively in the area of hypnosis and counselling. My medical background equips me well in understanding the various medical experiences and quandaries people may have when they see me for hypnosis and counselling. I find it most satisfying to work with people in facilitating healthy and meaningful change in their lives. I find it refreshing to witness a person presenting for a specific focus (such as better managing emotions or smoking cessation) experiencing general and positive change in their life.
