Overview

Clinical Psychologist in Blackburn North, Victoria. Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday appointments. However, the clinic receptionist can assist six days/week with enquiries. Liz has 30+ years of continuous experienced in assessing, diagnosing and treating the following mental health conditions: Anxiety and Panic Disorders Depression Antenatal and Postnatal Mental Health Problems Grief and Bereavement Post traumatic stress, including adults who were traumatised as children All appointment bookings are made through reception at the clinic. Patients must ring to make and change appointments. I have experience across a range of settings including Government health, family & children's services, tertiary psychiatric inpatient and outpatient settings, tertiary obstetric and gynaecological hospitals and university clinical supervisor. I am a Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor. I assess the patient's suitability for the type of therapy that is most suited to their issue/s. Often a combination of approaches is required and this is discussed with the patient at the time of the first consultation. In order to have sufficient time for patients, I have restricted the presenting problems I usually accept. However, I am willing to discuss any issue that is not listed, as many issues often have areas of overlapping problems.
