The Adult Psychology Clinic offers a specialised clinical facility for individuals experiencing a wide variety of psychological problems.
The service is provided by clinical and professional psychology trainees undertaking supervised advanced post‑graduate training and practice in Clinical Psychology.
Curtin Psychology Clinic particularly welcome referrals for depression, anxiety, and OCD related disorders. The Clinic houses WA’s longest running OCD program, providing high-quality psychological treatment, teaching and research to support those experiencing obsessive compulsive and related disorders.
We provide assessment for complex OC&RD cases, treatment for OCD across the lifespan, Adult OCD Group Therapy, a dedicated Perinatal OCD program, Hoarding Disorder Treatment, and a self-help (free) and therapist‑assisted program for children and adolescents with OCD (www.ocdnotme.com.au).
We routinely work with the OCD related disorders of Tourette’s/Tic Disorders, Trichotillomania/Excoriation, Health Anxiety, Emetophobia and Body Dysmorphic Disorder and encourage referrals for these presenting problems.
Your referral or request for treatment is initially reviewed by our clinical team. One of the clinical psychology trainees will contact you to ask a few simple questions to better understand your treatment needs.
After the initial assessment a plan for therapy is drafted with you, outlining goals for treatment and the treatment program. In general, treatment involves one-hour weekly sessions over six to 10 weeks. The length of treatment can vary according to the nature of your problem and the type of therapy prescribed.
Your clinical psychology trainee will review your progress periodically and make adjustments where necessary. Your clinical care is supervised by a team of experienced clinical psychologists.
Individual sessions are recorded to ensure you receive the best intervention through close supervision with your clinical psychology trainee. Recordings are confidential and deleted after your treatment is completed.
Curtin Psychology Clinic has a specialist Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) treatment program. The latest evidence-based treatments for OCD are available to clients. The program is constantly carrying out research projects to improve understanding and treatment for the disorder.
