Mr Chris Thompson is an Adelaide trained Psychologist who works in the area of bariatric surgery. A part of the AMOS team since 2006, Chris enjoys seeing people sustain health and weight loss, but also improved confidence, and enjoying better relationships with those around them as a result of this improved health. Chris has been in private practice Psychology since 2004, helping people with a wide range of psychological strategies. As well as general psychological issues such as anxiety, depression and helping people to adjust in a healthy way to change, Chris has a great deal of experience in helping patients with physical and emotional health.
