How I can help
Self Psychology provides psychological therapy, assessment and professional support for children, adolescents and adults. Some people come with a clear concern or referral question. Others come because life has become heavy, confusing, or difficult to manage.
You do not need to have the right words before reaching out. The first conversation can help clarify what kind of support may be helpful.
Therapy for adults
Therapy for adults may be helpful when you're experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, low mood, trauma symptoms, grief, burnout, relationship difficulties, adjustment to change, parenting stress, or a sense that you're not coping the way you usually would.
I work with adults collaboratively, respectfully, and at your pace. Therapy may include exploring patterns, developing coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, processing difficult experiences, or making sense of the impact of earlier or recent events.
Anxiety, panic & stress
Grief & loss
Depression & low mood
Trauma & posttraumatic distress
Burnout & work stress
Parenting & family relationships
Interpersonal conflict
Life transitions
Self-esteem, identity & decision-making
Neurodivergence (ADHD & autism)
Self-harm & suicidality
Therapy for children and adolescents
Children and young people don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling. Distress may show up through behaviour, school difficulties, withdrawal, emotional outbursts, sleep changes, anxiety, irritability, self-criticism, avoidance, or conflict at home.
I work with children, adolescents and families to better understand what may be sitting underneath the presenting concern. Support may involve individual therapy, parent guidance, emotional regulation strategies, psychoeducation, assessment, or liaison with other professionals where appropriate and with consent.

Assessments
I provide a range of psychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults. Assessments can help clarify your cognitive, emotional, developmental, behavioural, adaptive or functional profile, and may assist with diagnosis, support planning, school recommendations, NDIS access, treatment planning, or understanding individual strengths and needs.
Assessment recommendations are made based on the referral question, age, presenting concerns, and the type of information needed.
Assessment areas may include:
ADHD assessments
Autism assessments
Cognitive assessments
Functional assessments
Psychometric assessments
NDIS access and planning-related assessments
Emotional intelligence & workplace-related assessments
NDIS-related support
I provide therapy and assessment services for clients with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS plans, with a strong understanding of the NDIS access process, functional impact, support needs, and the importance of clear evidence when communicating disability-related needs.
NDIS-related support may include psychological therapy, functional assessment, report writing, review reports, and recommendations to guide support planning.
