Joe is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Launceston, offering evidenced-based psychological care to adults.

Joe works with a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties and life stress. He has a particular interest in the treatment of panic disorder and other anxiety-related conditions, and also provides support for ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent presentations.

Joe has training in a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). He works collaboratively with each patient to develop an individualised treatment plan based on their needs, goals, and presenting concerns.

The most common referral pathway is through a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHCP) arranged with your GP. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) referrals are also accepted and will generally require GP involvement.

Workers’ Compensation, Motor Accident Insurance Board (MAIB), privately funded, and Victims of Crime referrals are also accepted. If you are unsure which referral pathway applies to you, please contact us to discuss your options.

During the initial session, a psychosocial assessment will be completed and possible treatment approaches will be discussed. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and treatment planning will be collaborative and tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Feeling comfortable with both the therapist and the treatment approach is important. If another service or referral option may be more appropriate, this will be discussed and, where possible, supported.
