I'm Dr Maria Syed and I offer confidential, neurodiversity affirming ADHD and Autism assessments and therapy online to adolescents (12+) and adults. For assessments, I follow a comprehensive, best-practice process that includes clinical interviews, standardised measures, collateral information where relevant, and a detailed written report. In therapy, I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I hold a PhD in Psychology from Deakin University, where my research compared the effectiveness of cognitive training and mindfulness on working memory and mood.

You may be functioning on the outside — working, studying, showing up — while internally feeling anxious, disconnected, or emotionally drained. You might find yourself overthinking everything, repeating relationship patterns, or quietly questioning your self-worth. Even when nothing looks “wrong,” something doesn’t feel settled inside. Many people come to therapy not because they are broken, but because coping alone has become exhausting.

Mental health can look different for every individual. My role as a psychologist largely involves assisting clients to develop emotional resilience, as well as promoting healthy behaviour change. This results in clients living a more fulfilling life, regardless of what their current and or future circumstances present. Being able to accurately assess and treat clients in a supportive environment is central to my practice. Due to the nature of my psychology training, as well as my personal experience growing up as a 1.5 generation Korean/Asian in New Zealand and Australia, cultural responsivity is also a particular interest of mine.
