Welcome to Melbourne MindCare
Melbourne MindCare provides evidence-based psychological treatment for individuals experiencing moderate to severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety -related disorders.
We deliver two concentrated treatment formats for OCD:
-
Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT), a concentrated four-day program
-
Concentrated Treatment, a 6-session format within 2 or 3 weeks
The B4DT was developed in Norway by Professors Gerd Kvale and Bjarne Hansen, and has since been established internationally with strong clinical efficacy. We have completed the first Australian study which assessed the clinical outcomes and acceptability of B4DT in a clinical setting, and continue to collaborate directly with the treatment's originators and the wider international B4DT network to expand access in Australia.
If you would like to express your interest in participating B4DT or Concentrated Treatment for OCD, please complete our online client expression of interest form.

We offer the Bergen Concentrated OCD Treatment, an intensive program designed to help individuals make meaningful progress through a focused treatment approach.
Individualised treatment planning
We recognise that each person’s experience is unique. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and tailored to your specific needs, goals, and circumstances.
A supportive and collaborative approach
We aim to create a therapeutic environment where you feel understood, respected, and supported throughout the treatment process.
