Background

About Patrick Johnson

I work in public and private health as a Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, Educator, Mentor, and Medical Director. I have worked in metropolitan hospitals, private practice, and ‘fly-in’ regional clinics. My work has varied: from long term psychotherapy; to public hospital settings of day to day service delivery; to working at State and Federal levels with broader system development. My approach is to maintain curiosity, and hope, even in the hardest of situations: to take each enquiry seriously, but never grim. At the VDHP I lead a dedicated team of doctors and allied health colleagues providing support to Victorian doctors and medical students. The VDHP provide the opportunity for confidential discussions and help with pathways through issues impacting on your life and work. You may have a ‘simple’ question or you may have found yourself in a complex world of confusion: we’ll do our best to listen and help you find a way forward. For any struggling doctor or medical student, concerned colleague, worried family member or friend, please seek out help. There’s no x-ray to prove it but surely speaking has to offer more than silence? Call the VDHP on 1300 330 543 Timely, Free, Confidential & Collegial. Funded by the Victorian State Government and via medical registration contribution.
