Corrie Ackland is the director of the Sydney Phobia Clinic and a PhD Candidate at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

In her clinical practice, Corrie specialises in the comprehensive treatment of specific phobias. We spoke with Corrie about how different phobias present in clinical practice, and why they are worthy of our attention. We learned about the typical structure of phobia treatment, the value of good-quality exposure therapy, and the role of virtual reality in phobia treatment. We guarantee you'll come away with heaps of new information and ideas.
