Jonathon Walker, a Melbourne psychologist, coerced a young patient into moving into his home after a relationship formed, leading to cancellation of his health registration.
The Victorian tribunal, during the September hearing, examined the communications between Walker and his client, revealing manipulative behavior that significantly upset her well-being.
The tribunal noted that Walker's attempt to exert control over his client's life, particularly after their relationship ended, demonstrated a serious breach of ethical conduct.
Despite the evidence of emotional and financial manipulation, Walker maintained limited insight into the severity of his actions, which led to a five-year disqualification from practicing.
