Tribunal cancelled Jonathon Walker’s registration after it found ‘evidence of coercion’ towards vulnerable patient
Melbourne psychologist Jonathon Walker, who coerced a young, vulnerable client and moved her into his home after they began an intimate relationship, has had his registration as a health worker cancelled.
At the hearing in September, counsel representing the Psychology Board of Australia said the emails “provide evidence of coercion”. The decision described how Walker also shared confidential information about seven other clients with the woman. This included emails containing sensitive information, the Vcat decision said.
Walker also told Vcat that his client was in a “psychologically compromised state” when she made the allegations against him to medical regulators, and he described some of her statements as “dangerous and delusional”.
