Psychological Practice:
Since 1999 I have developed a practice which deals predominantly with the preparation of court reports. This involves interviewing clients, the use of psychometric assessment and the drawing and engrossing of the report. Appearance in Court following the submission of the report is also an aspect of my practice.
I have prepared reports in all areas of law but with a particular focus on:-
I am currently a member of the Central and Northern Queensland Regional Parole Board which meets at the Townsville Correctional Centre on a monthly basis, the Psychologist’s Board of Queensland which meets monthly in Brisbane and I am on the panel of expert witnesses for the International Criminal Court, The Hague, the Netherlands.
Additionally, I have spent a considerable amount of time in Indigenous communities in the Cape and Northern regions of Queensland and come from a cross cultural background. Consequently, I have a sound understanding of cross-cultural issues.
With respect to an ongoing therapeutic relationship with clients, I have colleagues to whom I often refer clients and who are prepared to engage in the therapeutic process with clients who require ongoing counselling. This allows for a full case management plan which I have found is beneficial to the client. |
