Eating & weightAbout
Dr Cal Paterson
I have been practising as a psychologist in NSW since I was first registered in 1999. Since 2010 I have worked alongside surgeons, physicians, GPs and dietitians in obesity care, and I teach other health professionals about the psychology of obesity care.
I work from an integrative model, matching evidence-based approaches to the person in front of me. You won't be judged or lectured about your weight. We focus on what matters to you and what will help you live well, whatever your body is doing.
