    About Dr Marcelle Statsny
    Psychiatrist

    It has been more than two decades since I started working as a psychiatrist, and every day I am still humbled to walk the journey through great suffering to help patients reclaim their lives. There have been many humorous and joyful occasions. I am passionate about my career and I strive to translate this to a high quality of care for my patients.

    I am also a mother to two wonderful young children. So I am well aware of the stressors busy parents face.

    All views expressed are personal and do not represent any professional or organisational body.
