Autism Psychologists and Therapists in Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
While diagnostic labels can convey something about your particular challenges, they fail to capture the complexities of your experience—no two people are alike. I will work alongside you to discover what it is that you need to live a fulfilling life, whatever shape that may take. This might involve reducing the impact of symptoms, developing insight into the origins of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, making sense of past experiences, clarifying what is important to you, and taking action that will lead you in the right direction.

Common presentations I work with include anxiety and phobias, depression and other mood difficulties, neurodivergence ( Autism, ADHD), OCD, repetitive behaviours (skin picking, hair pulling), gender dysphoria, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, school refusal, relationship challenges, and more general stress and adjustment issues.
I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy – working with you to develop a shared understanding of what your challenges may be (and why), and then using this to formulate a treatment plan that best suits your needs and preferences. When working with children, I'll also work closely with the various important people in the child's life.

You may be struggling with anxiety and/or depression. You may be experiencing a number of difficulties which require a psychological evaluation to find clarity; perhaps a diagnosis and recommendations for strategies to deal with your problems.

It takes courage and honesty to decide that you are not satisfied with your life. You might know that you need change, but you are not quite sure what, or, how to go about it. Alternatively, you may have a very clear idea of what is getting in the way of you thriving. Perhaps you have found the last couple of years a challenge, or you are generally feeling a bit lost or confused having difficulty processing the impact of the pandemic on you, or your young people/person, or any other barrier/s. Regardless, we can work together to rediscover hope, purpose and joy in your life.
