As a clinical and health psychologist Siân is interested in helping adults with medical and psychological conditions engage in behaviours that assist with their health performance despite the distress that can occur with illness. Her experience includes working in acute medical and physical rehabilitation hospitals (including during COVID), helping people manage and adjust to medical illnesses, injuries, terminal diagnoses and disabilities.
Siân also focuses on helping individuals with trauma symptoms, persistent pain, adjustment to illness (including cancer, organ failure, limb amputation), addiction, self-esteem issues, assertiveness, and anxiety and depression. Siân has experience treating adults with Somatic Symptom Disorder, Factitious Disorder and Functional Neurological (Symptom) Disorder.
Siân is keenly interested in working with medical and health professionals, for therapy, supervision or clinical debriefing to assist with anxiety, burnout and/or moral injury, especially after working during COVID. Siân has run group debriefing sessions at Austin Hospital and at Northern Health for junior doctors and other multidisciplinary teams through the pandemic.
