Services
Individual Therapy
At Melbourne MindCare (MMC), we offer individual therapy that’s grounded in proven, evidence-based approaches, with a strong focus on treating OCD, anxiety, and related conditions. Our experienced team specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard for OCD—delivered in a structured, personalised way to help you achieve real, lasting change. Because these issues often overlap with challenges like depression, trauma, or life stressors, we also draw on complementary therapies such as ACT, Schema Therapy, DBT, Prolonged Exposure, and Mindfulness-Based Approaches. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or looking for expert support, we’re here to help you feel more empowered, connected, and confident in your everyday life.
Bergen Concentrated
OCD Treatment
We are excited to announce that are are offering the effective and concentrated OCD treatment consistent with the Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT). In December 2024, Nathan co-led the successful pilot of the B4DT in Melbourne, marking a step forward in the delivery of evidence-based care for individuals with OCD. Originally developed in Norway, B4DT is a concentrated outpatient program that compresses the most effective elements of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) into four consecutive days. This structured and immersive format challenges the way we think about OCD treatment. At Melbourne MindCare (MMC), we are proud to be among the first Australian clinics to offer this concentrated OCD treatment, having completed advanced training and formal accreditation under the mentorship of Prof. Bjarne Hansen and Prof. Thröstur Björgvinsson - B4DT founder, educators and clinicians .
