ABOUT Psych Services NZ

Background

​

I have worked as a Clinical Psychologist within various contexts, and have dealt predominantly with severe mental illness throughout my career. The experience has afforded me the privilege of working with a diverse population of incredibly complex and interesting human beings.

I have worked predominantly in the Forensic setting, which started in South Africa at Sterkfontein Forensic Hospital. Since moving to New Zealand in 2019, I have worked as a Clinical Psychologist in the following settings:

​

- Forensic Prison Team (Mason Clinic, Auckland) covering MECF and Auckland Regional Prison

- Clinical Manager of Mental Health at Otago Corrections Facility

- Senior Professional Practice Fellow at Otago University

​

While working at Mason Clinic I completed a number of S38 court reports and acted as an expert witness when required to do so by the courts. I find this work intellectual stimulating and rewarding, helping both the client and the courts navigate some of the complexities around mental health.
