Therapeutic Approach / Area of Expertise

 

Terry has 20+ years of clinical experience but feels he is always learning from his clients. He has worked in hospital, University, not-for-profit and private practice settings both in Australia and overseas. He works with individual adults and couples. 

​

Terry operates within diversity, trauma-informed and social justice frameworks and is experienced in the following areas: relationship issues, psycho-legal difficulties and transitions, challenges for those who work in the performing arts, complex trauma, anxiety, family challenges, depression, identity struggles, neurodiversity, sexuality, gender, personality disorders, psychosis, men’s issues, self-harm, and substance use / addiction.

​

Terry has taught in graduate psychology programs at numerous Australian and international Universities. When not at SYP, he co-ordinates a university Masters program and provides clinical supervision to psychologist interns and registrars.  

​

He has experience with a range of modalities, including:

​

• Brief Psychodynamic approaches

• Functional Analytic Psychotherapy

• Interpersonal Psychotherapy

• Solution Focused therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Emotion Focused therapy (EFT)

• Trauma Informed therapy

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Schema Therapy

• Transformational Chair Work

• Gottman Relationship therapy 

• Integrative couple’s therapy 

​

Terry’s preference is to draw on these approaches as indicated by client and/or clinical factors, while remaining grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic frameworks.

​

Terry sees the broad objective of most therapeutic work as providing a forum for his clients to enhance their insight and understanding, and for this to contribute to a more value-consistent and satisfying life. His approach is client-centred and collaborative.  His therapeutic process is curious and non-judgemental and utilises rapport, support, validation, pattern recognition, shared problem solving, and challenge to help clients improve their situation, insight, and resilience.
