Meet Brigette Gorman

I trained at the University of Otago and gained a first class Honours degree in psychology (2003) followed by my post-graduate diploma in clinical psychology for which I attained a distinction pass (2006) and finally I completed my PhD in 2010. I have a strong research and clinical background.

I have been working in private practice since 2011. I work one day a week in private practice. For the rest of the week I work for the Canterbury District Health Board and have worked in a service helping people who have cancer and their families and I am now working at the South Island Eating Disorders Unit.  I have also been involved in research related to ADHD and in Earthquake Stress research.

My interests include anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders,  ADHD and living with physical health conditions and life limiting health conditions. Beyond this, my interests include cognitive and behavioural evidence-based treatment approaches and effective treatment delivery.
