Hi, my name is Sam and I am a Clinical Psychologist working in Launceston, Tasmania.
I work in the field of adolescent and adult clinical mental health with a particular interest in anxiety and mood disorders as well as grief, interpersonal, stress and adjustment challenges. I also work with people who are currently part of a workers compensation claim, Veterans and those with NDIS funding.
I have completed a Masters of Clinical Psychology at the University of Tasmania and have over eight years of experience in the mental health field. I am also registered with the Australian Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
My therapy approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness practices and Compassion Focused Therapy. These therapy approaches are combined in a unique way for each individual person based on the challenges and symptoms that are presented.
In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, horse riding, spending time with a multitude of animals, going to local restaurants and vineyards and socialising.
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together in the future.
