About Victoria

I have worked in the field of psychology for 20 years and have primarily worked with adults, including those in custody. Within clinical practice, I have completed in-depth assessments and reports, and delivered tailored interventions to individuals with a range of complex needs and challenges. My warm, client centered and collaborative approach has led to meaningful working relationships.

I also provide training, supervision and consultancy for those working in the justice system. I maintain abreast of current research to ensure my practice remains evidence based and have contributed to the literature through research, peer review and writing for the international handbook on trauma informed practice [in press].
