As an experienced Registered Psychologist, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and psychological intervention for children, adolescents, and adults. Using a client-centred, best practice, and evidence-based approach, I offer intervention and symptom management for:
• ADHD
• Autism
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma
• Addiction
• Emotional and Behavioural issues

In my clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and across all stages of life, in a variety of settings. I am deeply committed to helping individuals with complex presentations gain a deeper understanding of their emotional and behavioural challenges. I believe in a compassionate and holistic approach to mental health, recognising the unique experiences and needs of each client. My goal is to support my clients in uncovering the underlying factors that contribute to their difficulties and to empower them with the tools and strategies they need to overcome these obstacles.

My passion lies in guiding my clients toward crafting and living a life that is rich with meaning and purpose. I strive to help them align their lives with their core values and aspirations, fostering a sense of fulfillment and well-being. By creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, I aim to inspire hope and facilitate lasting positive change.

We are a small occupational therapy practice offering intervention to clients aged 2-17 years.

Our Mission is to empower children and their families by providing evidence-based and family-centred practice.

Our occupational therapists are dedicated to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment, where every child’s unique ability and potential are recognised and celebrated. We pride ourselves on our ability to connect with each and every child.

In addition to working with clients with an ADHD diagnosis, we are experienced working with more complex clients with additional diagnoses and presentations (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Pathological Demand Avoidance Profile, Intellectual Disabilities, Global Developmental Delay, Down syndrome etc).

Psychological service – Medicare referred university students attend up to 10 sessions per year.

I am a neuro-affirming clinical psychologist with a strong interest in ADHD and Autism. I offer formal diagnostic assessments and therapy for both ADHD and Autism. I also specialise in emotional dysregulation difficulties, so work with DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) and Schema Therapy to address this. Furthermore, I specialise in eating disorders, specifically Binge Eating Disorder, and am an NEDC-accredited Eating Disorder clinician.

I help neurodivergent senior executives and professionals reduce their stress and free their creativity from the corporate chaos.
As a transformation coach, I help neurodivergent people build sustainable professional lives and get back to enjoying your personal lives. I coach neurodivergent leaders to be more strategic, focused and calm, and overcome and avoid burnout.

My practical, strengths-based approach comes from my lived experience as an Executive Director and a late-in-life diagnosis of autism and ADHD.

Get the best from your creative mind and step into your personal and professional goals.

Who I work with:
My goal is to be the #1 leadership coach for neurodivergent people in Australia, but I work with so many more people.
– Autistic people, people with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions, either diagnosed or self-identified
– Nerds (software developers, engineers, project managers, analysts and lawyers)
– Leaders, especially those new to a leadership role who need to learn new skills in a hurry
– People working in creative agencies or digital teams
– People who own a small business or a start-up
– Those recovering from burnout, or currently experiencing it
– Gifted high achievers who might feel they aren’t reaching their highest potential
– HR departments and companies who want to support their high performers and neurodivergent staff.

Not all my leadership clients see themselves as neurodivergent, but they often feel something is hindering them from achieving their goals, or struggle with anxiety or depression.

What I do:
There’s no handbook for how to operate inside an organisation or run a business as a neurodivergent person. My clients are often extremely gifted and have had successful careers despite (or because of!) their disability, but get to a point where they realise that they are struggling and heed help.

But when they get to that point, there isn’t much help out there that is tailored for their brain and communicated in a way that works for them. I bridge the gap between traditional professional coaching and communicating with neurodivergent people in a neuro-affirming way.

I can’t make that task list disappear, but I can help you learn how to regulate your nervous system and create space for strategic thinking. I coach leaders to balance stress and get the best out of their creative minds, allowing them to step into visionary leadership and achieve your professional and personal goals.

I’ve coached people who:
– have been promoted into leadership but are struggling to balance the demands of the role
– want to finally make momentum on that side hustle and turn that idea into a business
– can’t get beyond the constant emails and tasks to get their big projects off the ground
– struggle with building stakeholder relationships and selling their work
– never seem to have enough time for strategic thinking because they’re overwhelmed with small tasks
– aren’t seeing the results they expect, despite having the skills to be good at their job.

Many are focusing all their energy into their job, experiencing overwhelm or panic attacks, and finding there’s nothing left in the tank for themselves. I help them get from where they are to where they want to be. Many of my clients have worked with consultants, coaches or therapists who didn’t understand neurodivergence, or are they felt a bit lost in their work and home life.

My experience:

When I received my late diagnosis of autism and ADHD, I was the Executive Director of a digital agency with 400 employees. I was leading multi-million dollar tech projects and led a department of 40 staff. In that role I focused on delivering on time, increasing profit and revenue, increasing employee engagement and client happiness – in a way that was holistic and sustainable. I didn’t want to make money at the expense of the humans I worked with.

After my diagnosis, it became clear that many of the challenges creative leaders face come from how neurodivergence shows up in the workplace. Since then, I’ve devoted my skills to helping people and teams build neuro-affirming lives and workplaces, building a strengths-based coaching practice that helps people maximise their potential.

For over a decade, I’ve been coaching future leaders. I’ve helped people go from performance improvement plans to becoming top performers. My strengths-based coaching practice is for neurodivergent people from all walks of life – helping you build neuro-affirming lives and workplaces.

I aim to be a neuroaffirming psychologist who provides assessment for autism and ADHD, alongside supports post diagnosis. I have a lived experience of neurodivergence and am a member of the newly formed League of Autistic Psychologists and Affirming Colleagues. I work from a strength based, trauma informed perspective. I have additional training in EMDR and Schema therapy. My passion is to support adults throughout the assessment and diagnosis process and to provide a positive and affirming experience.

I provide support to children, teens and parents focusing specifically on ADHD. My services are focused on looking at how environmental changes/supports can be used address individual and family challenges.
