Yes, The Talbot Centre provides individual, family and group therapy and treatment services for a wide range of mental health concerns and for individuals or families who are looking to further develop their skills in particular areas (e.g., parenting, study) through our centres The Talbot Centre for Eating Behaviour and The Talbot Centre for Clinical Psychology. You can read more about our treatment services at www.talbotpsychology.com.au or call us to discuss how we can best support your needs on 02 8814 5703.

Yes, Dr Talbot regularly provides ad hoc supervision for other professionals who would like to consult about a specific patient or small group of patients with an eating or feeding disorder, obsessive compulsive or related disorder (including tic disorders and trichotillomania), selective mutism and complex child and adolescent presentations, or who would like to increase their skills in these areas. Dr Talbot also provides ongoing supervision for clinical registrars and fully qualified psychologists depending on their needs. For more information about supervision options please see our training page.

Yes, although we have standard training packages that target a range of common concerns that schools and workplaces may benefit from, we are happy to tailor a presentation, workshop or full training package to suit your specific needs. Our consultation process involves doing a needs analysis survey of your staff or community members to determine what the goals of the training or educational presentation are and then we can develop a customised package to meet those specific needs and goals. If you would like to discuss your training needs further please call reception on 02 8814 5703 or send through an email enquiry to reception@talbotpsychology.com.au

The Talbot Centre is regularly involved in a number of research trials aligned with our value of evidence-based practice. We are not currently running any treatment trials (i.e., trials where specific new treatments are evaluated, where you can often access treatment for FREE or at low cost due to participation in the trial.)

We would love to receive your expression of interest in attending any of our professional development workshops. Our workshop schedule for this year will be available shortly. In the meantime, please email reception@thetalbotcentre.com.au to indicate your interest and we will contact you once registrations for that workshop are open.

We are also always interested in feedback on workshop topics that you would like us to run in the future. Please feel free to send suggestions through to our email as well.

We usually recommend that people seek professional support when their psychological or emotional difficulties are impacting on their daily life such as difficulty managing at work or school or reduced social interactions with others.

Therapy can also be beneficial in improving your skills in a particular area such as public speaking or conflict resolution. You do not have to have a serious or chronic mental health concern to see a psychologist and experience benefit from therapy. In fact, research suggests that getting support early (before problems become severe) is the best approach to supporting positive wellbeing.

Emotional difficulties can happen to anyone and may arise at any age. There is no such thing as being too old or too young to seek treatment. Our psychologists are trained to work with patients of all ages from young children through to older adults. It is never too late or too early to seek assistance in managing your difficulties more effectively and improving your wellbeing.

If you are unsure whether therapy can assist you and you would like to discuss this further please contact us or complete our general enquiry form. We would be happy to hear from you and discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.
