Dr Dipti McGowan
Clinical Psychologist | Psycho-Oncology Specialist
Hello and Welcome,
I’m Dipti, and I feel genuinely honoured to be part of the team at the Gold Coast Breast Centre.
​
Working alongside an exceptional breast surgeon and a dedicated group of allied health professionals, we’re proud to offer something truly special—a place where world-class medical care is paired with meaningful emotional support. It’s this holistic, person-centred approach that makes our work so rewarding.
​
It’s a privilege to support individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. Through therapy, I aim to help people feel seen, heard, and understood—while working together to ease distress, strengthen coping, and enhance overall wellbeing and quality of life.
​
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your care team.
​
Warmest regards,
​Dipti
Caring for the Mind Through Cancer and Recovery
Psycho-oncology is a specialised field focused on the psychological and emotional wellbeing of individuals affected by cancer—including those newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, adjusting to survivorship, or supporting a loved one through illness.
​
A cancer diagnosis can bring intense emotional challenges such as fear, anxiety, grief, and shifts in identity. Dipti offers skilled, compassionate support to help individuals and families navigate these challenges with clarity, resilience, and practical tools tailored to their unique experience.
She provides support with:
-
Coping during diagnosis and treatment-related stress
-
Managing anxiety, depression, and fear of recurrence
-
Addressing body image and identity concerns
-
Adjusting to survivorship or palliative care
-
Emotional support for carers and family members
