Caroline T. Gurvich is a Psychiatrist based in Melbourne, working from Level 4, 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia.
In her appointments, Caroline helps people deal with mental health and wellbeing concerns, and she also takes a practical look at how physical health can affect mood and thinking. In many cases, she supports people who are finding it hard to manage day to day life, relationships, work, or sleep.
Caroline works with a range of conditions. This can include eating disorders such as anorexia, and longer-term mental health conditions like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. She also looks after people who experience bipolar disorder and PTSD, including symptoms that come after trauma or stressful events.
Some people see her for mood and hormone related changes too. For example, she supports issues around menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). She can also help when hormones are changing after treatments or surgeries, including salpingo-oophorectomy, and she may be involved in conversations around hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Caroline also supports people on the autism spectrum who may be dealing with stress, anxiety, or shutdowns that make everyday life feel harder. At times, she helps people manage memory concerns or memory loss, and she works to sort out what may be going on for the person, including how health factors and mental health can overlap.
Health doesn’t always sit in one box. Caroline may also discuss how illness and recovery can affect mental wellbeing, including after COVID-19. She can support people with gestational diabetes as well, especially when changes in health and stress are impacting mental health.
When you book in, you can expect a calm and grounded approach. Caroline’s focus is on listening, understanding what’s been happening, and working out next steps that feel doable. The aim is to help you feel more steady and more in control, not just “get through” appointments.
