Dr Shirin Rad
Counsellor, PhD, ACA-L3
Serves Area
My ideal clients are adults navigating workplace trauma, anxiety, PTSD, or major life transitions — including those on WorkCover/SIRA claims. I have a special passion for working with migrants and the Iranian/Persian-speaking community in Sydney, as well as neurodiverse individuals who feel overwhelmed or misunderstood. Many come to me after a workplace injury or accident, struggling with the emotional and psychological toll on their daily life and relationships. Others arrive at a quiet turning point — a diagnosis, a breakdown, or the realisation that things can't stay the way they are.

I've been in private practice as a Psychotherapist for 7 years. Outside of psychotherapy, I've also worked in depth with complex mental health issues within in the community for NDIS, and as a Behaviour therapist for adults, children, and families also within the NDIS space. I connect well with adults and adolescents by offering a unique expressive practice including a variety of talk therapy modalities and creative modalities. Expressive therapies are particularly helpful for those who find it difficult to connect with a therapist and perhaps feel like they've told their story many times before.

Autism Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.

How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.

How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.

How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
