Blake Dear, PhD

Professor
Macquarie University
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I am a Professor and Senior Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Psychology. I currently hold a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Emerging Leader Fellowship (2020 to 2024), and previously held a NHMRC Career Development Research Fellowship (2017 to 2020) and a NHMRC Early Career Fellowship (2012 to 2016). I am passionate about increasing access to effective psychological treatment, particularly for adults struggling with chronic physical health conditions.

I am a Director of the eCentreClinic (www.ecentreclinic.org); a research unit that develops and evaluates a range of psychologically-based treatments for common mental health and chronic physical health conditions. I have a strong interest in transdiagnostic treatments for anxiety and depression as well as treatments that support people with significant physical health conditions, including chronic pain, chronic kidney disease, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and various gastrointestinal disorders and diseases.
