Dr Catherine Fraser

Access to Lectures | Speaker

Adolescence is a challenging time of life, when many young people may need help and guidance from general practitioners. The tasks of adolescence can be overwhelming for some: becoming clear of one’s identity, developing independence, facing issues regarding sexuality, making choices and preparing for direction in their adult lives.

Dr Catherine Fraser

Dr Cathy Fraser worked in general practice for 20 years, with a special interest in psychological medicine, before making the change to practice psychotherapy exclusively 6 years ago. She has a growing interest in adolescent mental health in her private practice in Sydney.
In this webcast, Cathy will draw on her experience as a GP to make this relevant to the general practice setting. She will share what she has learned from her own experience, both as a GP and a psychotherapist, focusing on ideas and strategies she has found useful to engage and assess adolescents in turmoil.
