The Anxiety and Depression Clinic offers low-cost Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for anxiety, depression, and related emotional disorders to the general public as part of our ongoing research. We currently only offer services for adults, aged 18 and older. Referrals to treatment providers who specialise in childhood anxiety or depression can be provided.
Treatment usually lasts for 10 weeks, although some people may require more or less time to overcome their anxiety or depressive difficulties. Currently, the clinic will be offering both individual and group-based treatment however the format offered to each client will depend on presenting problems and assessment outcome.
Treatment sessions are usually weekly and will last one (if individual) or two (if group) hours. Daytime and limited evening appointments are available. All treatments are conducted either by Prof. Peter Norton or the clinical staff of the Anxiety and Depression Clinic.
The Anxiety and Depression Clinic does not prescribe medication, although we will gladly speak with your physician or psychiatrist about coordinating services.
