Help For Your Patients:
If you are a GP, Peadiatrician or Psychiatrist referring a patient to my services, please note that I:
1. Accept patients presenting with mental health problems referred under a Mental Health Care Plan.
2. Am registered with most private health funds.
3. Do not provide medico-legal reports for patients.
4. See a limited number of concession fee clients.
5. Do not conduct diagnostic work with children (taking a more practical approach that is child and family strategy centered).
Help For You:
Importantly, you might need support too. Referrers are often at the front line of helping others and can commonly experience symptoms themselves. However, we know that helping professionals often struggle to reach out due to concerns about privacy, time constraints and stigma.
If you or a colleague are in need of assistance, consider making an appointment with me. I see GPs, Specialists, Surgeons, Psychiatrists and other Medical Professionals who value my service for it's convenience, privacy and effectiveness. I have experience working with other helping professionals experiencing burnout and stress. I value providing effective and evidence-based support related to burnout and vicarious trauma that can arise from working as a helping professional.
