I work as a lecturer, feminist psychotherapist, writer and supervisor in Melbourne, Australia.
This blog is where I keep track of my work outside of the therapy room and beyond the classroom.
I’m mad keen on the politics of therapy, supervision, stress and burnout, death, dying and the complexities of ethical etiquette.
