Qualifications
I am a registered psychologist with Bachelor of Science, a Graduate Diploma in Applied Psychology and a Masters in Applied Psychology (Sport Psychology stream). During my study at Victoria University, I also completed a Graduate Diploma in Exercise and Sport Sciences.

Basketball
Apart from consulting with Individual clients, in 2002 - 2003 I worked with Bulleen Basketball Club. I worked with Bulleen's ABA Women's Team, and then I completed a season-long sport psychology program with the Bulleen - Melbourne WNBL team

VIS & AIS
I have undertaken work placement programs at the Victorian Institute of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport in the Sport Psychology Department. I assisted athletes with presentations on topics such as Goal Setting, Time Management and Career Counselling.

Private Melbourne College
As part of my Masters, a significant aspect of my fieldwork was completed at a private Melbourne College. I provided sport psychology consulting services over a twelve month period to many of the college's best athletes in rowing, netball, athletics, cricket, and Australian rules football.

I have also lectured secondary school students on anxiety management, goal setting and peak performance. I related sport psychology principles to other aspects of their lives such as exam performance, music and drama productions, and job interviews.

Cricket
Another consultation program I completed was with the Victorian Women's Cricket Squad. This was a season - long project where the main objective was to enable the athletes to apply mental skills to improve their cricket. Team building and rapport between the players and the coach was also a focus of the season.

Issues I have dealt with during my experiences include:

• anxiety management issues
• building self esteem
• motivation for training
• time management - incorporating study, training and recreation time into student's lives
• eating disorders
• coping with injury
• coping with parental and peer expectations
