I am a clinical psychologist who lives in a rural area, so I understand the unique challenges facing those who live in the bush and need to access mental health services.

Additional information
I am registered to provide services under Medicare, DVA, Workcover (NSW), many EAP providers, and the NDIS. I am also happy to see people as private clients without referrals who may wish to access rebates through their private health insurance, or who may wish to pay full fee. You can find out more about my fees here. I use a number of different therapy techniques, depending on the client and their presenting concerns. I have a particular interest in Positive Psychology, Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. If you have any queries about this aspect of my services, feel free to contact me. I am currently completing a PhD that is exploring the benefits of mental health digital mobile applications for smartphones and tablet devices. This research is ongoing, but has already resulted in two publications: Marshall, J. M., Dunstan, D. A., and Bartik, W. (in press). Clinical or gimmickal: The use and effectiveness of mobile mental health apps for treating anxiety and depression. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry. doi: 10.1177/0004867419876700 Marshall, J. M., Dunstan, D. A., and Bartik, W. (in press). Smartphone psychology: New approaches towards safe and efficacious mobile mental health apps. Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. I also like to facilitate and work with groups for both adults and young people. In the past, I have co-ordinated group programs related to autism, anxiety, and depression.
