ABOUT ALEXANDER SVENSON

I am a Clinical Psychologist, and I started Marka Clinical Psychologists with the aim of providing those experiencing challenges with their mental health an attentive, tailored, and evidence-based approach to psychological therapy.

My background involves working in private practice for several years and in larger organisations, such as with the Black Dog Institute, South East Sydney Local Health District (at Prince of Wales Hospital), and with Headspace. Additionally, I have previously supervised provisional psychologists completing their postgraduate training - something that I have found very rewarding.

​

I offer psychological assessment and intervention for people who face challenges which include:

• Depression                                                                

• Health Anxiety                                                          

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder                                 

• Social Anxiety                                                           

• Panic Disorder                                                          

• Agoraphobia                                                            

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder                            

• Specific Phobias
