Hi, I’m Abbey, a psychologist who supports teenagers and adults to better understand themselves, reconnect with their strengths, and get to the root of what’s been getting in the way. I work with a range of mental health experience and can collaborate with you to find sustainable strategies and ways of living that support you without asking you to change who you are.
I have a particular interest in working with teens and adults navigating a range of mental health experiences and neurodivergence (e.g., ADHD, autism, learning differences). This includes support around anxiety, stress, low mood, identity exploration, self-esteem, burnout, life dissatisfaction, and the psychological impact of chronic health conditions.
As a neurodivergent psychologist, my lived experience greatly informs the way I practice. I hope to create a space where you can feel understood, validated, and supported. My approach is client directed, neuroaffirming, compassionate and strengths based.
