Meet the Team

---

Hello, my name is Monica (she/her). I am a Psychologist and Educational and Developmental Registrar, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, navigating school, work, or relationship challenges, or looking for a space to better understand themselves and their experiences.

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and safe. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you better understand your thoughts and emotions, recognise your strengths, and feel heard and supported. 

The majority of my practice focuses on:

• Anxiety and depression, mood-related diffiulties
• Managing life transitions and adjustment to change
• Neurodiversity (ADHD, autism,  intellectual and developmental differences)
• Navigating work and school-related  stress

My clients often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to manage what is happening in their lives. Through working together, many begin to feel heard, more connected to their strengths, and more confident in navigating challenges in a way that feels right for them.

About Me

I am a Registered Psychologist and Educational and Developmental Registrar, having completed a Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology.

My postgraduate training has focused on development, learning, and mental health across the lifespan. I have experience working in private practice and school settings, and I support individuals from childhood through to adulthood. I value working with people and families at different stages of life, recognising that our needs and challenges change with each life stage.

I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in ways that align with their individual goals and experiences. My work is evidence-based, trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and culturally responsive. 

Assessments

In addition to counselling, I have experience conducting psychological assessments including, comprehensive cognitive, educational, and behavioural assessments to support greater understanding of learning and developmental differences, as well as assessments for  ADHD , Specific Learning Disorders (i.e. Dyslexia and Dyscalculia), and Intellectual Developmental Disability.
