Adrian holds an endorsement from the Psychology Board of Australia to practice as a clinical psychologist. He is also a Board-approved clinical supervisor to higher degree clinical trainees.

In addition to working with his clients, Adrian is a lecturer for the NSW Institute of Psychiatry, a Conjoint Lecturer for the School of Psychiatry and the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales and is a member of the WHO Global Clinical Practice Network.
