Services Offered
Assessment for Children and Adolescents
When a child experiences difficulties learning, socialising, regulating their emotions, communicating, etc, it can be due to many reasons (Developmental issues, Autism, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, Mood Disorders, etc.). I offer comprehensive assessments for children and adolescents that can assist with diagnostic, intervention planning, and clarifying support needs (special education, NDIS, etc).
Assessment will start with initial interview with parents, during which you will be given a personalised quote. If you decide to go ahead with the assessment, the cost of initial interview session will be deducted. You don't need to have a referral from GP, school, or psychiatrist, but if you have one, it might help with assessment planning. In some cases, you might also be eligible for Medicare rebate.
Therapy for Adolescents
Adolescence is a sensitive period that is difficult to navigate for both adolescents and their parents. I enjoy working with young people and helping them to understand themselves and the challenging modern world.
Sessions with young people are confidential and the young person can, if they want, request parents being present (or absent).​
Couples Therapy and Relationships Counselling
I offer different types of relationships counselling that suits different needs. This includes improvement in communication in a variety of relationships (work, friendships, family, etc), as well as deeper couples therapy that includes diagnostic formulation, treatment planning, and interventions.
Trauma
I offer EMDR therapy as well as other trauma-informed forms of therapy to assist people recovering from traumatic events. This includes recent and past traumatic events, work related incidents (e.g. Work Cover, insurance claims) and exposure to traumatic events (e.g. First Responders)
Neuroaffirming Therapy
I offer strength-based neuroaffirming therapy. This includes both traditional (ASD/ADHD) and broad interpretation of neurodiversity (c-PTSD, personality disorders, etc). We will discuss what you want to achieve in therapy and will work together in a growth mindset framework.
NDIS
I accept NDIS participants with self-managed and plan-managed funding (I cannot see clients with NDIA-managed funding). This includes cognitive assessments, skills training, and therapy. Please book a session to discuss your specific needs.
First Responders
QAS and QPS members can access sessions with me either via traditional referral pathways (GP referral) or self-refer through fully confidential Priority One scheme for First Responders.
