Dr. Jon Kettle

Clinical Psychologist (BA [Hons], MPsych [Clinical], PhD) providing short and longer-term psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families.

I am a clinical psychologist who offers individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults with a range of psychological difficulties, including: depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and personality difficulties, sexual and gender identity issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, drug and alcohol problems, assertiveness, anger, motivation and sleep difficulties. I offer psychotherapy that not only reduces symptoms but also works through underlying issues. I provide both short and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on patients' wishes, and also offer couples and family therapy. I treat patients via a private fee, which may be partially rebated by the Medicare 'Better Access to Mental Health Services' initiative, and via WorkCover, TAC and Veteran Affairs funding. I also work part-time in the public mental health system at Orygen Youth Health treating young people with psychosis. Referrals can be made by ringing 9288 7130, and an initial discussion had with the referrer or individual seeking treatment, or by faxing a referral letter from a general practitioner or private psychiatrist to 9310 2046.
