About us

The Talbot Centre is an integrated health clinic located in Bella Vista, within Sydney’s Hills District. The Centre was established by clinical psychologist Dr Amy Talbot and brings together a team of registered and qualified professionals including psychologists, speech pathologists, a paediatrician and dietitians. Appointments are available in person at the Bella Vista clinic, and telehealth consultations are available for individuals across Australia. All services are based on evidence-informed approaches that align with current clinical guidelines and research. Clients are encouraged to speak with a practitioner about whether services offered at the Centre are appropriate for their needs. The Talbot Centre also supports continuing professional development for health professionals, including psychologists, speech pathologists, and dietitians. Educational opportunities include training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), CBT for eating disorders (CBT-E), behavioural interventions for tics, and strategies for body-focused repetitive behaviours. The Centre also provides clinical supervision for registered health professionals seeking to meet their professional development or registration requirements. Training is delivered with the aim of supporting ethical, evidence-based practice in mental health and allied health settings. Health professionals are encouraged to consider whether a particular training aligns with their scope of practice and professional responsibilities.

Approach

We take an integrated, evidence-informed approach to therapy, bringing together registered psychologists, speech pathologists, a paediatrician and dietitians who work collaboratively to support the whole person rather than treating concerns in isolation. Our approach typically involves an assessment followed by a tailored care plan, drawing on therapeutic frameworks such as CBT and CBT-E, alongside behavioural interventions for tics and body-focused repetitive behaviours. We work with individuals of all ages who may be experiencing eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, ARFID, or feeding and mealtime challenges, with both in-person sessions available in Bella Vista and telehealth consultations across Australia.
