Dr Celin Gelgec Psychologist

Hello, I’m Celin (pronounced Celine), I’m a Senior Clinical Psychologist and the Director here at Melbourne Wellbeing Group. I support people living with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as related conditions such as social anxiety, generalised anxiety, agoraphobia, health anxiety, separation anxiety, phobias, perinatal anxiety, and depression, panic disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, and depression. My approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring treatment aligns with their unique needs and goals. My passion for working with OCD began in 2010 during my final placement for the Doctor of Clinical Psychology program at Deakin University, at the OCD inpatient unit at The Melbourne Clinic. I remained with the program for four years, where I refined my skills and helped developed treatment programs drawing on evidence-based approaches including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Alongside my work at Melbourne Wellbeing Group, I have also incorporated Schema Therapy and explored the use of virtual reality therapy in practice. Beyond clinical work, I have a strong interest in advancing the field through research and education. I am an AHPRA-approved clinical supervisor, providing supervision for clinicians and students, and I regularly deliver lectures and workshops on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of OCD. I am also the author of Treating OCD: A Clinician’s Guide to Getting Unstuck, and co-host (with Dr Tori Miller) of the podcast Breaking the Rules: A Clinician’s Guide to Treating OCD. Advocating for people affected by OCD is a deep passion of mine. Through both clinical work and public education, I aim to reduce stigma and increase understanding of the challenges and strengths of those living with OCD. I look forward to working with you!
