Grateful to have found a psychologist who explains things clearly. The CBT exercises I learned during sessions in Wollongong have helped me reframe negative thoughts, especially around social situations. Would recommend to friends.
Relieved after my first couple of sessions with Dr Backen. He listened without judgement and gave practical stress management tools that fit my busy schedule here in the Illawarra.
