Philip Roggio, Clinical Psychology Registrar
BA (PSYCH) HONS, MAPPPSYCH (PROFESSIONAL), MPSYCH (CLINICAL), MAPS, AMACPA
Philip's career began as a tradesman and small business owner, where he recognised that many personal and professional challenges often stem from deeper emotional origins. This insight led him to spend the next 16 years studying psychology and working with Emotional Strength® – a personal development approach that has informed his own growth and now underpins aspects of his clinical work.
Drawing on a combination of lived experience, formal clinical training, and emotional insight, Philip offers a grounded therapeutic approach where clients feel heard and supported.
Philip works with adults and young people across a range of psychological concerns, including personal, family, and relationship challenges, as well as physical health issues. He is trained in the Emotional Strength® approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and psychodynamic-informed interventions, tailoring treatment to the needs of each individual.
He is a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS) and Associate Member of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (AMACPA). Profile listed on Psychology Today.
