Luis Gustavo Vechi
Clinical psychologist. Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience in providing evidence-based services for people with all.walks in life.
About
Over 25 years, I have been passionate about supporting people with all walks in life to fulfil their
potentials & goals as well as to improve their mental health issues, capitalising on their
strengths.
Drawing on different psychological models, including the psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural
(CBT, ACT and DBT) and EMDR therapy, I am informed by an integrative & collaborative approach
which is proudly grounded in collaborative work; respect to singularity, diversity & people’s
rights; transparency; propriety and integrity.
My clinical expertise has been developed over the years of private practice and work in public
mental health & forensic services in Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, where I have also
lectured in Psychology for 10 years.
I am experienced in providing psychological services for adults with depression, anxiety, psychosis, grief, trauma, life transition
adjustment difficulties, austism, ADHD, existential & interpersonal issues, chronic physical
illness, pain management, among others.
Currently, I work as a senior clinical psychologist for a public mental health service in Victoria in
addition to my private practice where I offer online appointments for adults,
both in English and in Portuguese.
With a master’s and a PhD degree in Psychology, I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist and
as a Board-approved supervisor with AHPRA. I am also a full member of the Australian Clinical
Psychology Association (ACPA) and the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).
I have a passion for writing, and I have authored books and peer-reviewed papers in Psychology.
I would love to hear from you to discuss if and how I could be of help to yourself in your current
life challenges. I am currently offering online appointments only. In terms of ADHD and Autism assessments, I am available to conduct initial screenings, which will identify the need for a comprehensive assessment and make other recommendations including treatment. However it may not be conclusive in terms of offering a diagnosis.
