Can anyone recommend a good Brisbane based psychologist & GP who specialise in men's depression?

Hi, please help, looking for recommendations for a good psychologist and/or doctor in Brisbane specializing in men's depression. All the GPs and Psychologists on the Beyond Blue directory had to do was register their details. They didn't need to specialise in depression & anxiety or have been highly recommended to make it to this list. I'm desperately seeking a good psychologist for my partner who is my carer & primary caregiver for our 1yr old son. I was diagnosed with prenatal & postnatal depression & about 4 months ago have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. My partner has been doing everything around our house for months, plus taking care of our son so I can rest. He has lost 15kg in the past month, can't sleep at night, has poor appetite. He saw a female psychologist in Spring Hill 6 months ago twice & he didn't like her. He used to be a very gentle and calm, quiet person. But now he gets frustrated and angry with me, to the point where he bangs his fists on the table and throws things & has loud outbursts of anger in public. He has agreed he needs to speak to someone but I'm afraid he will get referred to another dud psychologist. His current GP is obviously a did as he has run a few tests to determine the cause of this dramatic weightloss & hasn't done one of those depression scale tests - the dr said come back if you lose another 5. My partner is 6 foot & now weighs 70kgs. Not healthy, his bones are sticking out. I phoned Beyond Blue this afternoon & they can't guarantee anyone in their directory is specialized in men's depression. So I'm hoping someone out there reading this in Brisbane can recommend a good GP and/or psychologist and help us please!
