Who I see

​

Adults and adolescents with complex trauma, personality disorders, and depression or anxiety that hasn't responded to treatment. I also see doctors and other health professionals as patients, confidentially, by video anywhere in Australia.

 

Brief therapy — Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT), 8 to 16 sessions. A defined, time-limited treatment with randomised trial evidence in depression, self-harm, and medically unexplained symptoms. Often appropriate when CBT has already been tried without lasting benefit.

​

Longer-term psychotherapy — the Conversational Model. Weekly, open-ended work for patients whose trauma has shaped how they experience themselves and other people. Developed at the University of Sydney, where I'm on the faculty that coordinates the online Master's in trauma-informed psychotherapy and supervise trainee therapists.

​

Medicare

​

I'm a GP, so a Medicare rebate applies to every session, with no ten-session cap, which makes longer-term work affordable for patients who need it. A referral letter addressed to me by name is all I need. Telehealth rebates generally need an in-person visit in the previous 12 months.

​

Referring a patient

​

Email a referral letter, addressed to me by name, to info@muditaholistic.com. I contact the patient directly to arrange a first appointment.

​

To discuss a patient before referring, call the practice on 0455 494 858 and I'll call you back. I'm also available for case consultations, WorkCover patients and shared care of complex presentations.

In person in Byron Bay at Mudita Holistic Collective, or by video anywhere in Australia.
