If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, or suspect you have it, you might be dealing with some struggles - problems at work or uni, conflict within your relationships, difficulty staying on track toward your goals. You might find it tough to keep track of time, remember things, see tasks through to completion, and juggle your responsibilities at work and at home. ADHD affects many facets of life and can feel overwhelming at times, especially if it's a new realisation for you.

Psychologist, PsyBA General

Verified
With a Master of Professional Psychology Practice, I confidently support clients in navigating a wide spectrum of mental health issues ranging from anxiety and mood disorders to complex trauma, relationship and attachment concerns. My interest in psychology was born out of a natural curiosity of human behaviour and has evolved into a deep passion for helping people cultivate a sense of aliveness & vitality. I am voraciously curious about the human condition, and this translates to the therapy room where I am always eager to seek understanding of the human being sitting across from me: their stories, their urges, and their "why?".
