Focused work on the problems I treat most.
I keep my scope deliberately narrow so the work is sharp. If your concern is outside these areas, I'll say so — and point you toward a clinician who fits better.

Structured, practical therapy with a clear plan from the start.
I'm Dylan — a Clinical Psychologist Registrar with over thirteen years of registration as a psychologist. I've worked across organisations, private practice, and public and private hospitals, including experience at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at St Vincent's Hospital. I focus my practice on OCD, anxiety, depression and PTSD, using the approaches with the strongest evidence for each.
Clear, structured therapy
Every client gets a clear plan in the first two sessions — what we're working on, the approach, and how we'll know it's working.
Practical, between-session work
Therapy doesn't only happen in the room. You leave with concrete strategies and small experiments to run before we next meet.
Honest about fit
If a different approach or clinician is a better match for your concern, I'll say so. Fit matters more than retaining you as a client.
Evidence-based by default
CBT, ERP, trauma-focused CBT and ACT skills — used where the evidence supports them, not according to a rigid single model.
The methods I use — and when each one fits.
The approach is matched to your presentation and what the evidence supports for it.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Among the strongest evidence base for anxiety and depression treatment. Changing the thinking-behaviour patterns that maintain distress.
Exposure & Response Prevention
A leading treatment for OCD. Structured, graded exposure to the thoughts and situations fuelling compulsions.
Trauma-focused CBT
Evidence-based approaches for PTSD and complex trauma — paced, structured, and collaborative.
Acceptance & Commitment
Used when avoidance, rumination or feeling stuck are keeping life narrowed. Helps reconnect therapy with values and meaningful action.
Why clients choose to work with me.
Client testimonials are limited in psychology for ethical reasons. Instead, here is some useful information that can help you make an informed decision.
Questions people usually ask first.
Fees, Medicare rebates, and the longer list of FAQs are on the Fees & FAQ page.
I've never seen a psychologist before — what should I expect?
The first session is a structured conversation aimed at understanding what's going on, what's been keeping it going, and what you want to be different. You're in control of what you share and the pace we move at. By the end we'll have a working sense of the problems and a draft direction for the work.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral with a Mental Health Care Plan is required to claim a Medicare rebate, but not to book. You can enquire and book without one — we can arrange the referral before session one.
In-person or telehealth?
Both. In-person sessions are in Parramatta; telehealth is available to clients anywhere in Australia.
What issues are a good fit — and what aren't?
Strongest fit: OCD, anxiety disorders, panic and phobias, depression, PTSD, and stress/adjustment concerns. Not a fit: active psychosis, current eating disorder needing specialist care, or paediatric work (under 16).
How long and how often are sessions?
Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients attend weekly to begin with, moving to fortnightly as progress stabilises.
