Oliver Szymanski
Registered Psychologist
Oliver’s treatment focuses on providing evidenced-based intervention to clients and their families. Oliver believes that the environment created in session, provides the foundation for patterns of thinking and relating to the self that can be utilised from the moment the client leaves the clinic. Whilst Oliver practices with a client-centred and strengths-based approach, Oliver aims where possible to involve the family unit in assisting the individual, regardless of age. Oliver strives to provide a warm, friendly and engaging environment with the aim to facilitate growth, led and directed by the client.
