Aclinical psychologist has additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of complex mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, using evidence-based therapies. Deb has a passion for assisting clients with complex mental health presentations to obtain diagnostic clarification.

A general psychologist also provides psychological services but typically focuses on a broader range of issues, including everyday stress, personal development, and behavioural problems. They may work with clients on a wider variety of concerns but are not as specialized in treating severe mental health disorders.

A counsellor typically offers support for life challenges like relationship issues, grief, and career guidance. Their work is often short-term and solution-focused, helping individuals develop coping strategies and resolve specific problems. Unlike clinical psychologists, counsellors do not diagnose mental health disorders.

Whether you live in Melbourne and come into Deb’s office in Watsonia, or prefer Telehealth to work with Deb, by seeing a clinical psychologist, you get the benefits of seeing a general psychologist or a counsellor, with the added depth and breadth of Deb’s clinical training.
