Malcolm Falconer has over 30 years experience working with clients in mental health settings. At the beginning of his career, he worked with people with intellectual disabilities at IHC. Malcolm then moved into drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, as a therapist in residential facilities and then as a counsellor in community services. Malcolm went on to work for a service providing vocational and recreational rehabilitation for people with mental health problems. Once he was registered as a psychologist, he worked for adult mental health services – both in the public sector and for non-governmental providers.

Malcolm consequently moved to the Far North, where he worked as a clinical psychologist. While living in the North, he acquainted himself with Maori (Ngapuhi) culture and values, learning to speak some Te Reo as a result. Returning to Auckland in 2005 he has spent the last 7 years working in a service for GP referred patients with mild-moderate mental health conditions, as the consultant psychologist for ProCare Psychological Services (PPS). During his tenure there, he split his time between holding a position on the management team, clinical supervision and seeing clients. In 2012 he started his own clinical psychology practice, and working closely with Monarch Psychology

He has continued his professional development with qualifications and training in clinical supervision, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), schema therapy, solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
