About Us

Basten & Associates are a group of clinical psychologists devoted to providing excellent psychological care in Sydney. Our psychologists provide a comfortable, supportive, and confidential environment for their clients, so that people can feel free to share their concerns, knowing that they have been heard and understood. It is in this kind of environment that client and therapist can work productively to understand problems and seek solutions. 

We emphasise the importance of using techniques that have been demonstrated as effective by independent research. The main therapeutic technique used by our clinicians is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
