Our Team

Hi, I’m Oscar.

I am a Psychologist with a keen interest in providing assessments and therapeutic support to a wide range of people.

Through cognitive, neurodevelopmental and educational assessments, I seek to assist people in gaining the support and understanding to help them thrive.

In therapy I work from a person centred approach, utilising skills from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

I hold general registration with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) Psychologists Board of Australia.
