Do you want to understand how your ADHD brain works? Are you tired of trying strategies but not being able to maintain them? Did you know you can strengthen executive functions to improve attention? Do you get so stressed before big competitions that you are unable to perform? Are negative thoughts distracting? Did you know that decision-making is highly influenced by attention? Do you have Autism, Anxiety, Depression and would like to better understand how to be more in control? If you need support during competitions, we have the first mobile clinic in Australia going to Sport events to support athletes
I have more than 15 years of experience working in Europe and Australia, which allows me to blend and get the best out of both models of psychological intervention. I am an ADHD psychologist-coach, one of the most successful approaches I have found for ADHD brains. I do have a Master in Sports Psychology; work with children, adolescents and adults
It is very important to me that we have an opportunity to meet and chat before we commit to anything. This is why I offer a 20-30min free consultation. I really enjoy working with my clients, and highly value honesty, fun, respect and acceptance.

I create a personalised model of intervention for each client based on the knowledge I hold on Neuroscience, ACT, CBT and coaching. The brain amazes me and I read a lot from the best experts. I find it important to provide resources and information so clients can start learning and operating independently as soon as possible.
