Dr Ryan Kaplan

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Ryan is a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in working with adults and young people. He has worked in private practice for a number of years, and his experience also spans both the adult and youth public mental health sectors.

Ryan is passionate about mental health. He has a wealth of experience in assisting people with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety and related difficulties (e.g. social anxiety, phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders), adjustment issues, relationship issues and more.

Ryan works with his clients in a warm and empathic way. His approach draws on a range of psychotherapeutic frameworks including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and other mindfulness-based therapies, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and existential psychotherapy, theory and philosophy.

Ryan says "In my clinical work, my guiding philosophy is that therapy should be both personalised and evidence-based, and underscored by a strong rapport. I strive to ensure that the experience of therapy is one in which clients feel supported, heard, and understood. I draw on a number of different psychotherapeutic approaches to help my clients achieve their therapy goals."

Ryan is also affiliated with Swinburne University as an honorary researcher, and was on the board of directors of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) from 2017-2022.
