David Cooper PhD
I provide therapy for people who are living with obsessive-compulsive disorder and related issues.
Treatment is evidence-based and individually tailored. This includes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) where requested.
When standard approaches haven’t worked, I also provide Schema Therapy, which was designed to address chronic/recurring life patterns.
I am a clinical psychologist and supervisor approved by the Psychology Board of Australia.
I completed a PhD on how to improve treatment for OCD, with a focus on blended care (technology + therapy) and imagery re-scripting (an approach to addressing emotional meaning).
I’ve also completed (and delivered) training and workshops in ERP, ongoing supervision in ERP by clinician-researchers associated with UNSW, along with training in Schema Therapy and ongoing peer consultations for inference-based CBT.
