Dr Vin Hutchinson

Consultant Psychiatrist

Dr Vin Hutchinson is a Consultant Psychiatrist, born and raised in Western Australia. He completed six years of medical training at the University of Western Australia, graduating with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honours (MBBS Hons.) in 2014. He completed a further five years of specialty training in psychiatry to qualify as a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP).

Dr Vin has a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to supporting patients with their mental health. He understands that people are unique and often do not neatly fit into diagnostic labels. He collaborates with patients to develop a shared understanding of their mental health that incorporates their physical health, life experiences including trauma, relationships, social connections, culture, and spirituality. Based on this, he works with patients to develop a management plan that includes evidence-based medication and non-medication options. His approach is to empower patients to take charge of their mental health and make informed decisions about their treatment for themselves.

Dr Vin provides face-to-face assessment and telehealth from the East Perth clinic. He is currently providing assessment and treatment to youth and adults with a special interest in the following areas of psychiatry: ADHD, anxiety disorders (including generalized, social and panic disorders), OCD, depression and bipolar disorder, psychosis, binge eating disorder, personality disorders and substance use disorders.
