Services
Psychology services include comprehensive psychological assessments and therapy. I am proud to state that I have been a neuroaffirming practitioner from the outset.
As of December 2025, neurodiversity-affirming practice will become a core competency included in the Psychology Board of Australia competencies!!
The new competency calls for psychologists to:
Understand neurodiversity, strengths-based, trauma-informed and positive approaches to supporting people with developmental disability. Demonstrate the ability to adapt psychological practice and make reasonable adjustments for people with disability, including understanding of alternative and augmentative communication.
These changes signal a wider shift across the psychology profession – one that calls for deeper inclusivity, greater flexibility and meaningful co-design with the communities psychologists serve.
Co-occuring conditions
It’s thought that between 60-95% of Autistic people are also living with other medical or other conditions. These could include, but are not limited to, ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, language disorders, eating disorders and more. Psychologists have to consider the whole person including co-occurring conditions.
About 50% of Autistic people will present with what’s called alexithymia, which is difficulties recognising and expressing emotions. That can make it harder for us to identify conditions like depression. It’s important that we understand the person’s usual functioning and investigate if there are changes.
Virtual Practice
I provide therapy and assessments from a virtual practice dedicated to providing neuroaffirming telehealth psychology services to older teens (16+) and adults. Telehealth assessments are available to anyone over the age of 16-years.
Presenting / Training / Groups
I provide presentations and trainings on a range of topics relating to neurodivergent brains, parenting neurodivergent children including PDAers, and more. This can be done remotely via telehealth with limited in-person opportunities available. I remain super proud to have been included as a virtual presenter as part of the Yellow Ladybugs 2025 Conference and continue to present for Distractd on the Gold Coast.
In-person
I am available working 3 days per week at a Private Practice clinic in Helensvale, QLD.
