Dr Ros Lethbridge is a clinical psychologist specialising in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and depression. Ros also has ten years experience as a commercial lawyer in Australia. She began her legal career with Allens Arthur Robinson, and continued her association with the firm while she completed her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

Ros is interested in both promoting and delivering best clinical psychological practice. She has worked as a consultant to the beyondblue National Workplace Program and with her own organisation, Positive Health, raising awareness of anxiety and depression in large corporates and law firms. She also lectures postgraduate psychology students in clinical interventions for anxiety and depression.

Ros is an experienced psychologist. For several years she ran the anxiety outpatient programs at The Melbourne Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital. Currently Ros works as a senior psychologist at Austin Health, treating people who have experienced psychological trauma (such as police and emergency service workers), supervising other psychologists and running group programs. She has a small part-time private practice on Thursdays.  

Ros teaches her clients to make simple yet radical shifts in their relationship to the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations that contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. Her approach is solidly grounded in current psychological research, and uses traditional cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT) and schema therapy. She is particularly interested in mindfulness-based strategies, which research shows contribute to physical and psychological health.
