Dr Andrew Sheridan trained in the UK as a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist and holds dual registration with AHPRA. Towards the beginning of his career he focused on Paediatric Neuropsychology at Great Ormond Street Hospital and Oxford Children’s Hospital. Since moving to Australia, he has focused on both child and adult Neuropsychology, specialising in conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Acquired Brain Injury. He is also skilled in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and behaviour management approaches. His approach is person focused, in that he tries to ensure his clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and understood. In Neuropsychology it is also vital to be guided by research evidence, and he aims to stay up to date with advances in Neuropsychology: he is an active researcher, lecturer, and Neuropsychology supervisor at University of Western Australia.

Melissa is a provisionally registered psychologist in the final stages of completing her Masters/PhD of Clinical Psychology at the University of Western Australia. Melissa draws from evidence based-therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She has experience working with children/adolescents and their families, adults and older adults, both one-to-one and in group settings. Melissa’s approach is person-centred – she strives to create a safe environment where her clients feel heard and supported, and enjoys working collaboratively with clients of all ages to help them make sense of any challenges they might be facing, tailoring strategies to suit their needs, and capitalising on their strengths in the process.

Melissa’s current research focuses on gaining a better understanding of certain cognitive processes involved in working memory, and examines how anxiety might impact these cognitive processes and consequently, working memory performance.
