FAQS

I work with people across the lifespan, from young children to older adults. For certain assessments, I can work with children as young as two years old. There is no age limit when it comes to understanding yourself better. Whether you are seeking early support for a young child or insights for yourself at any stage of life, I am here to help.

Absolutely, I have over ten years of experience working specifically with neurodivergent clients in a variety of roles, providing assessments and ongoing support. I am well-versed in high-masking presentations, which are common among neurodivergent folk who often feel the need to hide or camouflage their traits to fit neurotypical societal expectations. As someone who is a high masker myself, I also bring lived experience to my practice, which helps me offer a more empathetic and deeper understanding of life as a high masker.

Some services may be covered by private insurance, depending on your specific policy. You would need to check with your insurance provider for details. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover assessments; however, it does cover counseling services. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can access six sessions and then a further four sessions with a Medicare rebate. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may fund many assessments, depending on the individual’s plan and goals, and many do and have used their funding for assessments with me. I recommend discussing your coverage options with your provider to see what may be applicable for you.

Yes, I offer flexible payment plans to accommodate those with financial constraints. Typically, I require a 20% deposit upfront and the full balance before releasing the final report. However, the payment terms in between can be tailored to suit your needs. I believe that financial limitations should not be a barrier to accessing the support you need.

 I offer both in-person and online services to provide flexibility and accessibility. For in-person assessments, I provide mobile services locally, allowing me to come to your home or a location of your choosing if you prefer. For those who are more comfortable or have constraints that make travel difficult, I also offer telehealth services, ensuring you can access support from the comfort of your own space.

To schedule an appointment or ask any additional questions, you can reach out to me via email, phone or using the online form on the Contact Page. Please note that, as a neurodivergent woman myself, unexpected phone calls are hard! I will not answer phone calls I do not know, but please leave a voicemail. I will return your call as soon as I can, or we can arrange a specific time to speak. I am also very responsive to emails and will do my best to get back to you promptly. If you don't need to chat with me and want to go directly onto my waitlist, please fill out the intake and consent form online, and you will be added straight in.

Currently, my waitlist for counselling appointments is closed. I strive to offer quality care and attention to each client, and this means sometimes needing to pause new bookings. I will be providing updates for when I am able to take on counselling clients again through my mailing list and social media.

You do not need a referral to see me for most services. A referral from your GP is only required if you are seeking counselling services. For all other services, such as assessments, parent support or sessions focused on understanding your neurotype, you can self-refer.

At the moment, I am booking appointments starting in November/December. However, my waitlist is growing rapidly, and it is best to reach out as soon as possible if you are looking for a timely appointment. I am committed to providing support and will do my best to accommodate your needs within the constraints of my schedule.

Yes, absolutely! The educational assessment is designed for this purpose. It includes a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive and academic skills to identify specific learning disorders like Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia. This assessment process involves gathering detailed information about the individual's learning history, administering standardised tests, and providing a thorough analysis of strengths and challenges to develop an appropriate support plan.
