Dr Heather Crockart: GP Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist

Heather is a general medical practitioner by background, now working almost full time as a psychotherapist. She was in usual general practice for twenty years specialising in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in the last eight years.

Heather has successfully completed extra training in CBT, other psychotherapies and a masters in GP Psychiatry. She prefers a non-pharmacological approach, though she can, and occasionally does prescribe medication as an adjunct to the primary talking therapy.

Hypnosis

Heather has been doing hypnosis for several years and has had success in a number of situations including stopping smoking, weight loss, phobias, low self confidence, panic attacks, generalized anxiety, depression and pain management.  Other conditions for which hypnosis may help include: stuttering, insomnia, shyness, self harming, guilt, migraines, OCD, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Bruxism (tooth grinding), sexual problems, amnesia, medical conditions such as hypertension and any situation where relaxation and confidence are helpful.

Heather works from the relaxed environment of her home in South Oakleigh.

Her out of pocket (gap) cost is $50 for a one hour session. She will Bulk Bill (no out-of-pocket cost) anyone who is financially disadvantaged and these sessions are a little shorter at about 40 minutes.
