Assessment & Consultation
Clinical Psychologists are qualified to Assess and Diagnose the full range of mental disorders and disabilities. Dr Phil provides this service focusing of patients 12 years and older. Assessments include those for Centrelink, NDIS, Worker Compensation and Insurance, workplace, and personal growth. Dr Phil does not undertake IQ tests anymore or assessments for patients younger than 12 as they are better observed and assessed in schools with the help of a pediatrician - good schools have guidance officers and psychologists on staff who can assist where the child's learning outcomes are at risk.
Psychotherapy
Evidence-based & Insight Oriented
Dr Phil originally trained in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy the fore-runner to CBT, then Cognitive Behaviour Therapies, Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapies, Schema Therapy. He then focused on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy which involves a deep dive into the patient's history throughout childhood an adolescence to understand how the patient has adapted to imperfect environments and how these adaptations in thinking and feeling, once necessary, continue into adulthood and led to symptoms that interfere with a successful adult life.
Dr Phil is highly skilled in assisting patients with the full range of anxiety disorders, depression, personality disorders, and psychoses.
