Psychiatrist ?
A psychiatrist is a medical trained doctor in the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, psychiatric, psychological and behavioural problems, evidence based medication management as well as psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. A psychiatrist must complete formal examinations to ensure that they meet a minimum standard of practice before they are awarded fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP).
SpecialitiesWe specialise in all range of general Psychiatric disorders including anxiety, Mood spectrum including treatment resistant depression, ADHD/ADD, Schizophrenia and other generalised psychiatric disorders. Our team also provide medico-legal opinions, occupational health assessments, workers compensations and others.
Since we all are unique, our preferred approach to therapy is one that is both tailored and collaborative in nature. I believe in the enhancement of personal resilience, and I aim to help my clients achieve this by first guiding them through a path of personal understanding of their thoughts, actions and feeling. We use evidence based treatment modalities, both medications and non-medications. |
