Hi everyone, This is a thread for asking questions of our resident GP
and counsellor, Dr Kim, who pops into the forums regularly. PLEASE NOTE
as per our community rules, Dr Kim won't be able to answer questions
about medications, these are best discussed offline directly with your
mental health professional. UPDATE - 01/03/2018 BEFORE YOU ASK DR.KIM
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING POINTS: Dr Kim's time is limited! We
cannot provide an ongoing dialogue with Dr Kim in this thread - one
post/question per person please We'd recommend you have a look through
the forums before posting here to see if your question has already been
answered by Dr Kim, our other members, or if there's information about
it already on the beyondblue website. If a question pops up that has
already been answered previously, or if alternate resources are
available, one of our moderators will reply and direct you to the link.
When writing your question, imagine you are speaking to someone in
person i.e. provide a clear and detailed post with enough information
that outlines how Dr.Kim can help you. Background After 20 years of
experience working as a GP, Dr Kim realised in 2003 the aspect of her
work she enjoyed most was talking to people and understanding the way
they think and behave – and so she underwent training in counselling and
therapy, where she now solely works. Her experience includes working
with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression
and adolescent mental health. “Given my training I also see couples,
siblings, parents with their children and entire family groups,” she
says. “In this work I hope to give families the skills to understand one
another and have the strategies to communicate and manage relationships
that are distressing them. I believe strongly that best therapy is
achieved when there is trust in the therapist's ability but also their
genuine desire to understand and help.”
