Dr Emily Bastick

Hello, I am MCPs Clinic Director and founder and I am here to support you through life's most complex and challenging situations. I am passionate about my clients' well-being and committed to providing top-of-the-line counselling and psychological services tailored to your unique needs.

​

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I aim to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients in a non-judgmental and comforting environment. The therapeutic relationship can be a powerful space to reconnect with yourself and others, and to build a positive future perspective for yourself. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, bereavement, perinatal mental health, and adjustment issues.

 

With experience in both the public and private sectors, and working from a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective, I utilise a wide range of evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques. I am also trained in the delivery of the Circle of Security program for parents and caregivers, and I have a passion for the mental well-being of young children.

 

I am an AHPRA-approved supervisor for psychologists seeking clinical endorsement and postgraduate placements.

 

My primary goal is to ensure that my clients feel heard, validated, and understood while developing the skills needed to navigate life's challenges. If you would like to learn more or schedule a session, please don't hesitate to contact me.
