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!

Hi, I’m Janet, a clinical psychologist here at Melbourne Wellbeing Group. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families. Talking about things that upset or worry us isn’t always an easy task. I aim to make this process smoother by going at your pace, using a bit of humour, and getting to know you as more than your “problem”. I believe context matters hugely, and part of our work together is getting to know your context, and how things in your past have shaped your thoughts, feelings and actions to date. I can support you through difficult issues (e.g., Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Trauma Work - incl PTSD and trauma informed work for OCD, Mood Disorders incl BiPolar, Grief and Loss, Work related and other stressors incl relationships, Illness), further your self-understanding, develop skills to identify unhelpful patterns and work towards meaningful change. Prior to working in private practice, I worked in public mental health settings assisting individuals across the lifespan with anxiety, low mood, attachment-related difficulties, childhood trauma, challenging personalities, grief, anger, school-related issues, individuation, and existential issues. I have an eclectic therapeutic style, drawing from a range of evidence-based treatments such as psychoeducation, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy (ST), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), trauma-informed practice, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and family-based approaches. I look forward to working with you. To book with Janet please call our team on (03) 9882-8874.

Hi, I’m Victoria but I prefer to be called Tori. I am a Clinical psychologist and the principal practitioner and associate director here at Melbourne Wellbeing Group. My work is all about supporting children, young people, parents, and families with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, OCD, stress or anger, trauma, psychosis, neuro-developmental difficulties, challenging behaviours, relationship difficulties, or significant life events. When I welcome new clients, my priority is to build a shared understanding of the problem, before developing a personalised treatment plan. This may include play therapy, supportive psychotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, exposure response prevention therapy, virtual reality therapy or child-focused parent therapy. I can also conduct cognitive and learning assessments and I am an AHPRA certified supervisor. Recently we started a podcast of which I am the co-host (with Dr Celin Gelgec), called “Breaking the Rules” - A Clinician’s Guide to Treating OCD. While completing my Clinical doctorate program at Deakin University, I researched the female profile of autism. In addition to my work in private practice, I have worked for the Monash Early in Life Mental Health Program in their adolescent group therapy program and community treatment team and then as the senior psychologist in their early psychosis team. I have always loved working with children, young people, and their families, and coming to work brings me great joy. Plus, I have the best office – it’s full of toys!

Hi! I’m Max (he/him). I completed my six-year training at The University of Melbourne and have since supported young people and adults across hospitals, acute mental health services, and private practice. Through my clinical experience, I am passionate in supporting people of all ages and backgrounds with a wide range of concerns, including long-term depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, grief, and complex trauma. Specifically, I hold special interests in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), psychosis, and social anxiety. I believe every person brings a unique story. Therefore, I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to always create a safe space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. My therapeutic style is tailored to your needs, drawing on my strengths in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behaviour therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy.

Hi, I'm Nat. I am a fully registered psychologist who works with adults and adolescents with the goal of providing professional, empathic and evidence-based therapy. I work with people who experience anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), mood disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder), emotional difficulties (e.g., emotional dysregulation, anger management, self-esteem, adjustment issues), substance use concerns, and other concerns (e.g., perfectionism, sleep issues, stress management). Fundamental to my approach is the view that meaningful and effective therapy goes beyond ‘skills training’ and mere symptom reduction and involves a meaningful relationship between patient and therapist. Engagement in this type of therapy develops over time and takes commitment and bravery and begins with establishing a safe therapeutic relationship within which your individual experience is heard and understood, and where honesty, grace and perseverance are valued and embodied. I draw from various modalities, including CBT (including Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD treatment), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment therapy), Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and have recently become interested in psychodynamic approaches. I look forward to meeting you and working with you. To book online with Nat give us a call on 9882 8874.
