I am a clinical psychologist accepting new referrals for adult, adolescent and child ADHD assessments.
I provide brief and comprehensive ADHD assessments that are frequently requested by psychiatrists and paediatricians, although patients can also self-refer. My assessments focus on collecting data that medicos cannot usually collect, so there is no double-up in time and costs to the patient. Reports are typically available within one week.

My central focus is the strengthening of my clients by helping them re-connect with their ‘true self’ . All of us seek this vital inner-connection to our selves. Without this felt connection we can feel lost, disconnected and inauthentic. We find various ways of managing this, many of which make us more distanced from ourselves, keeping us feeling stuck and and less connected to others. My model incorporates both talking therapy and Brainspotting to explore and process any blocks (past traumas) to self connection. Once connected to oneself, personal growth begins and symptoms diminish allowing life to flourish.

Emotional struggles often signal that something in your life needs attention. Anxiety, mood fluctuations, addictions, and relationship struggles can leave you feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Unprocessed challenging experiences, such as trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic/family violence and addictions can shape how you see yourself and the world, making it hard to break free from harmful patterns.

My clients are those who recognise that something needs to change and are seeking a supportive, nurturing space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I see children +8, women, parents, couple and elderly.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also an important moment of strength. Maybe you’re an adult navigating the confusing terrain of identity, relationships, and maintaining this "mental wellbeing" buzzword we are always hearing about. Or maybe you're a young person feeling the weight of big emotions, school demands, and a sense of disconnection from those around you.
You’ve probably tried to push through on your own. Maybe you’ve even seen a therapist before. You’re tired of pretending everything’s okay. You’re tired of managing things alone. And you’re probably wondering: Why is this still so hard?

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
