Winkie is trained as a mental health Occupational Therapist and has 30yrs clinical
experience in a broad range of private & public health settings,
both overseas and in Australia. She is a skilled Individual and Group

that fosters hope for change. She also provides clinical supervision
for counsellors and mental health care workers.
In her private practice, Winkie works with adults providing treatment
for Post Trauma reactions and recovery resulting from either early life
or general trauma experiences. In particular, Winkie has extensive experience
in Combat or Military-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and its
impact on the individual’s relationships, family, work and social
functioning.
Winkie uses a range of therapeutic approaches including Psychodynamic
Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy
to treat anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, grief and
loss, life role transitions & changes, substance misuse, family
of origin issues and assimilation difficulties.
Her approach is insight based and acknowledges the impact significant
past or early life experiences have in shaping how we respond to current
difficulties.
Winkie values the Individual’s unique strengths and best efforts
at coping with their current stress. Therapy aims to strengthen the
sense of self, to encourage spontaneity and flexibility in one’s
thoughts and actions thus improving resilience to stress, making life
richer and more meaningful.
