Dr Rebecca Campbell

I am a dedicated and client-centred clinical psychologist, holding registration since 1997. My career has involved a variety of government and private settings in predominantly regional areas. My research focus centres on geropsychology, specifically mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change for older persons and wellbeing in advanced age.
