About Post Author

John Forbes

John is a Clinical Psychologist with extensive clinical experience working with adults and children in a range of settings. He is particularly interested in the issues confronting FIFO workers, at both an individual level and with their families. This includes stress and depression, relationship problems, parenting, and financial distress. Recognising that it is not always convenient nor possible for FIFO workers to attend appointments during their limited time at home, he developed an interest in e-therapy, allowing FIFO workers receive support while working away. John also possesses a wealth of organisational health experience, including as the Assistant Director of the WA Police Health and Welfare Branch and the Mental Health and Chronic Disease Program Manager at the Osborne General Practice Network. He also provides training, and has lectured at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels at Edith Cowan University. Dr John Forbes is also the owner and Principal Psychologist of Delta Psychology (www.deltapsychology.com)
