Name, Title
If you have been referred by your GP on a Mental Health Plan you maybe able to receive a Medicare Rebate. I continually up-skill in various Focused Psychological Therapies to provide the best possible care to clients. I have particularly interest in working towards recovery in mental health. With 20+ years experience working within public mental health I would be happy to work with you to explore, understand and reach you own recovery and wellbeing. I have worked with people over the past 25 years who have been living with a mood disorder, (such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder) or psychotic disorders, (such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder) and addiction, (behavioural or substance addiction). It can take courage to take the first step to book an appointment and I look forward to meeting with you and working with you at your pace.
