Meet the team

Dr Daphne Hewson is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Macquarie University in Sydney.  She worked as a clinical psychologist in community health centres, hospitals, private practice and universities for 25 years.  During the past decade she shifted to an identity as a social health counsellor and has developed the Master of Social Health program at Macquarie University with specialist strands for workers in child protection, drug and alcohol counselling and Indigenous health.  Her preferred ways of working have also shifted – from CBT to Narrative and from quantitative to qualitative research. 

Daf is committed to quality professional training for front-line workers.  Since 1990 she has presented many successful workshops around Australia and New Zealand on Clinical Supervision, Narrative, Working with Legacies of Trauma and Abuse, Grief and Loss, and Group Work.
