Clayton is a Clinical Psychologist who values understanding the differences of each person's experience. He takes a neuro-affirming, client-centred approach to therapy, fostering a nonjudgmental space to offer personalised care that resonates with each individual's unique needs. Clayton has experience working with people across the lifespan and has worked in various settings, including schools, private practices, and hospitals. Clayton has an interest in cognitive assessment, particularly those that highlight and embrace neurodiversity.
Within therapy, Clayton integrates evidence-based strategies from various psychological models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy. His area of focus includes Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and trauma related disorders.
Additionally, Clayton has specialised experience in supporting the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community, and he maintains active registration with the Australian Professional Association for Trans Health (AusPATH). Currently, Clayton only offers sessions remotely via telehealth; however, he plans to return to face-to-face sessions in 2025.
