About Dr. Juan Velastegui

Hello! I’m Juan,

After working in different areas in general medicine for a few years, in 2012, I opted to pursue a specialized career in psychiatry. This is attributed to a keen interest that I have for this discipline, as the nature of the work is very challenging, fascinating and rewarding.

Now, as a consultant psychiatrist, the never-ending journey of learning and professional growth has taken me to look for new challenges and experiences. Currently, I am working in public and private mental health services, always ensuring that patient centered is at the core of my practice.

Most of my experience as a Psychiatrist has been working with people who have had to navigate life-altering health conditions in the Australian public healthcare system. Alongside this, I have been practicing independently a few years ago, where I have enjoyed working with a diverse range of people from across Australia.

Although as a Psychiatrist I’m trained to work with people experiencing a variety of issues, my passion is working with people who are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, burnout, low mood, health issues, relationship difficulties or stress at work.
