Emily is an amazing speaker. She has a warm and engaging delivery and is keen to answer questions through out the presentation. She is able to deliver a valuable workshop on a serious topic full of information presented with empathy and humour. 

Her extensive knowledge and skills are evident in her workshops and her take home messages make a difference in peoples lives. Emily is professional and well presented. I would highly recommend attending any workshop that she presents.

Clinical Psychologist

I recently had the pleasure of having a one-on-one workshop with Emily for her ’10 Step Workbook for Adults with OCD’. Emily presented the workshop in an engaging manner with compassion and a high degree of professionalism. The workshop was well structured, clinically relevant and filled with practical ways to engage with clients. 

The workbook itself is easy to follow, without too much jargon and I believe a real asset for any client wanting to manage their symptoms. It was very clear from talking to Emily the high level of expertise she has in this area and her passion for treatment. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone with an interest in OCD.

Emily is a professional and engaging presenter who owns, directs and works clinically across several private psychology practices in Brisbane, Australia. Emily's workshops and training sessions highlight the subtle dance between the challenges of creating a small business while raising a family. Her humorous, down to earth and professional style encourages others to create passion and authenticity in their clinical practice and business endeavours. Emily is available for private mentoring, workshops and organisational mentoring.

​

I attended the workshop on ‘Effective Use of Behavioural Experiments in Adults with OCD’ presented by  Dr Emily O’Leary at the 2019 APS College of Clinical Psychologists Conference.  The workshop was well structured and the  material was of the highest relevance and value for my practice as a clinical psychologist working within a district health board.  

The presentation clearly achieved its objectives  of providing participants with an improved understanding of conceptualising clients with OCD, and developing confidence in the development and execution of behavioural experiments to best reflect the clients individual needs.  

It was clear from the presentation and from the interactions with workshop participants that Dr O’Leary has an exceptionally high level of expertise in the area of OCD.  Further to this, Dr O’Leary presented the material with a high degree of professionalism, compassion and warmth.
