Why This Training Matters.

How often have you arrived at a PD event, eager to learn, only to find yourself lost in PowerPoint slides and leave feeling disappointed, wishing for more active, ‘how-to’ learning?

Our mission is simple: to equip clinicians with practical skills that create real, lasting transformation.

When people change at this level, the impact ripples outward—strengthening self-connection, improving relationships, and enabling more fulfilling lives. These changes enrich individuals, families, workplaces, and communities—one transformative conversation at a time.

In these workshops, you’ll experience live, unscripted demonstrations and actively engage in practical, experiential skill-building in parts and Chairwork techniques. This isn’t passive learning; it’s your opportunity to step into the work, try out new techniques, and build real confidence to facilitate transformational change in a safe environment.

You’ll leave with tools you can integrate immediately into your practice. If you’re ready to move beyond theory and truly transform your clinical impact, these workshops are for you.

Meet Dr Oz

I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of ANIMA Health Network. My work is about bridging research and real-world practice, and I’m passionate about helping clinicians create meaningful change through Parts and Chairwork training. I draw on my own lived experience of ADHD, as well as years of clinical practice integrating EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Gestalt therapy within a psychodynamic framework.

I’ve had the privilege of delivering training and speaking at events across Australia, New Zealand, and internationally—always aiming to make complex ideas practical and accessible. I developed the Young Schema Questionnaire – Revised (YSQ-R), now used worldwide, and I’m currently an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University’s EnAble Institute. In 2024, I was honoured as Australian Psychologist of the Year.

If you’re looking for Parts and Chairwork training that’s evidence-based, engaging, and informed by lived experience, I’d love to connect.
