Our clinical team come from a diverse background. Steve Porter (Clinical Psychology Registrar) has experience in heavy industry and the corporate sector in health and transport/logistics. This experience prior to embarking on the psychology journey has been valuable in understanding the different environments our clients experience. It has also lead to an appreciation of the position now held in supporting clients in regional and rural NSW.

Our most used treatment approaches are Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Some presenting difficulties can require a different approach, however you will be consulted and included in the choice regardless.
