Member of the Australian Psychology Society

I bring to my mindfulness work my personal experience with meditation and many years of clinical practice and training in a range of evidence based psychotherapies. Since registering as a Psychologist in 1992, I have worked with a diverse client group from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. These days, I work full-time in private practice and I do contract work with a private psychiatric hospital running in-patient and out-patient groups in depression and anxiety. I facilitate Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) at a private hospital and I regularly run MBCT groups under the Medicare Mental Health Scheme with participants referred by their consulting psychiatrist or general practitioner. I like to take a holistic and integrated approach to my clinical work and I closely work with a psychiatrist trained in mindfulness. My clinical psychological practice involves services to teenagers and adults with a range of mental health disorders and significant mental health issues. I also work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties as well as couples wanting to enhance their relationship. I am registered to provide clinical psychological services under the Medicare Health Scheme and I am registered with the major private health insurers.

Dr Mark Craigie

Clinical Psychologist

BSc (Hons) First Class, MPsych (Clinical), PhD

Member of the Australian Psychology Society

I began conducting Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) classes in 2003 at Curtin University as part of my PhD research program. I was one of the first practitioners in Australia to conduct MBCT classes following the Segal, Williams, and Teasdale (2002) protocol. The outcome of this research and other research I have conducted has been presented at national and international conferences as well as in peer reviewed psychology journals. More recently, I have been the principal MBCT therapist at The Marian Centre, a private mental health hospital and daypatient facility. I have completed professional training in MBCT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) with some of the most prominent developers of these forms of therapy in the world. I continue to run MBCT classes for the Marian Centre as well as run my own private practice for adults experiencing difficulties with depression, stress, anxiety and a range of mental health problems. My private practice is registered to provide clinical psychology services under the Medicare Better Access Scheme, and I am registered provider for most major private health insurance funds.
