About of Keong Yap

Keong Yap is a Psychiatrist based in Strathfield, NSW. You can find the practice at 25A Barker Road, Strathfield, NSW 2135, Australia.


Dr Keong Yap looks after people who are dealing with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). That can mean unwanted thoughts that won’t switch off, or urges to do certain actions again and again, even when a person knows it’s not helping. OCD can be exhausting. It can also affect sleep, work, study, relationships, and everyday choices.


In many cases, OCD shows up as repeated checking, mental rituals, strict routines, or a strong need to make things feel “just right”. At times it can also bring a lot of anxiety, guilt, or fear of what might happen if a person doesn’t follow their compulsions.


Dr Yap works with people to better understand what’s going on and to find ways to reduce the grip OCD can have. The aim is usually to make life feel more manageable, with less time spent stuck in the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.


Getting help for OCD can feel like a big step. Many people worry they’ll be judged, or they’re not “bad enough” to reach out. But OCD is common, and treatment options exist. Over time, the right support can make a real difference to how often symptoms take over and how intense they feel.


Details about Dr Yap’s specific work history and experience are not listed on this page. Training and education information also isn’t provided here, so it’s best to contact the practice directly if you’d like those specifics.


If you’re looking for help with OCD, it can be useful to bring a clear picture of your main symptoms—what thoughts or worries show up most often, what compulsions you feel driven to do, and how it affects your day. That way, appointments can focus on what matters most to you and what you want to change.


Information about research involvement and any clinical trials is not shown here. Still, the care approach is about practical, steady support aimed at reducing symptoms and helping people get back some control in their day-to-day life.
