I am an Attachment, Trauma, and Jungian Therapist. I am Certified as a ‘Reliable Coder’ to score Adult Attachment Interviews for Reflective Function for both clinical and research purposes. I provide online 1:1 sessions as well as an Adult Attachment Interview package to identify and repair your attachment security. I am not a licensed mental health provider and I do not provide any medical advice.

My training is clinical and diverse. It includes Attachment, Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), Jungian Psychology, Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Somatic Experiencing, child behaviour change and Neuroscience. My training is extensive but most importantly, I work from my soul.

Prior to psychology, I was a technology lawyer and a Family Violence and Criminal Barrister for over ten years. I graduated with three university degrees including a Master of International Business Law (University of Helsinki), a Bachelor of Law (Monash University) and a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Ancient Greek and Latin (Monash University). I also hold the post-graduate qualification of Barrister-at-Law and I am a Member of the Victorian Bar (Supreme Court of Victoria).

Psychology Training and Education

Jungian Psychology

I have completed the core components of Jungian Analyst (Psychoanalyst) training (300 hours of Jungian Analysis, Clinical Supervision and core knowledge components).

I have deep knowledge and experience in Jungian Psychology and can help you with individuation, dream analysis, shadow work, active imagination and alchemy. I lecture and train Therapists and Psychoanalysts in these areas and I am also the host of the ‘Harry Venice Psychology Podcast’ which is one of the main Jungian Psychology podcasts on the internet.

My training in Attachment, Mentalization Based Treatment and Complex Trauma allows me to bring a broader, evidence-based clinical understanding to Jungian Analysis.

I am Certified as a ‘Reliable Coder’ to score Reflective Function for Adult Attachment Interviews for both clinical and research purposes. I completed my training and certification under Professor Howard Steele at the Adult Attachment Interview Institute and the New School for Social Research University in New York.

I am also trained to score and administer the Adult Attachment Interview for clinical and research purposes. I completed my training under Professors Howard Steele and Miriam Steele at the Adult Attachment Interview Institute and the New School for Social Research University in New York.
