About Me

Originally I began studying medicine and have always maintained my interest in health matters. Later I qualified in social work, and have worked in the adult and older persons mental health sector for more than 25 years in Adelaide, South Australia. I am endlessly interested in people and optimistic about their capacity to change.  There are many types of therapy and I believe there are always reasons to be hopeful, even if you have been stuck for a long time.

I have written these articles primarily for professional staff, but I think most members of the public will find them interesting and readable. Many consumers and relatives will find hope, where they had none, so I encourage you to tell them of this site.

I have added more ideas on a new site, with a particular focus on Grief, and how this can be resolved effectively, usually in a shorter time than people would imagine… www.ResolvingGrief.com.au
