She is an endorsed clinical and counselling psychologist, consultant to the insurance industry, in-demand speaker and trainer and has held national roles in psychology regulation and professional standards.

Counselling & Psychotherapy
I am a clinical and counselling psychologist. I still enjoy working with clients after 30 years of doing so. I am available for consultations in the Melbourne CBD.
Coaching & Mentoring
Business coaching and mentoring has become a speciality for me. I wrote a book about setting up a psychology private practice (Fit for practice) which was based on 30 years of psychology practice management. I have worked as a solo practitioner, with a business partner in a regional setting and as a group practice manager for 17 years in Williamstown, a suburb of Melbourne operating Kaye Frankcom & Associates, a seven-figure turnover practice.
Supervision
Supervision with me can encompass case presentation, developing the supervisee’s ability to work effectively with a range of client presentations, viewing videos of their work together, reviewing everything from clinical assessment to case formulation and treatment planning.
Training & Organisational Consultancy
In-house customised Implementation of Feedback Informed treatment in your practice, using the ORS and SRS to drive continuous improvement in your practice.

Private psychology requires vision, clinical expertise, leadership and business acumen.
