	Psychologist	ABN 48 745 032 371

	Castray Psychological Services

	In my private practice I aim to provide best-practice, evidence-based treatments, and to provide them at reasonable prices. I provide treatment for clients referred under Medicare and bulk-bill, meaning no out-of-pocket expenses for clients. While the range of clinical issues is diverse, I have a special interest in the anxiety disorders - panic disorder and panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and stress management in general.

Experience

Orientation

As well as private practice, I currently work within Mental Health Services (DHHS, TAS) in the prison and community Forensic Mental Health Service team. My work involves clients with complex issues (not just mental health issues) and close interaction with other service providers, non-government organsations and clients' family and supports. Court reports and risk assessments are a large focus of my work.
Previously I worked at The Hobart Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital.

My orientation to treatment is primarily based in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational-Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) techniques.
CBT has a large evidence base for success in a number of clinical disorders, and is widely recognised as best-practice intervention for disorders including depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.
