After a family diagnosis
A child, partner or relative was diagnosed, and you started recognising your own experiences in their story.
Diagnosed with ADHD, but it feels like more
ADHD explained some things, but not the sensory overwhelm, the social effort or the need to recover afterwards.
You don’t need to know whether its ADHD, autism, both or something else before getting in touch.
Burnout behind a capable front
You keep performing at work, but rehearsing, masking and pushing through is leaving nothing for home.

meet kerryExperienced, thorough and unhurried
Hi, I’m Kerry, a registered psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience and a particular interest in adult ADHD and Autism diagnostic assessments, especially high-masking internalised presentations in late diagnosed women and AFAB adults. My approach is warm, conversational and grounded in both lived experience and evidence-based practice.
I work with adults 18+, take on a limited number of assessments, and offer post-diagnostic support. All services are offered online via a secure video link.

Every assessment follows the same thorough diagnostic process. You then choose the outcome that suits you: a comprehensive written report or a letter. Pay in instalments, starting with a $500 deposit.
option 1diagnostic assessment + comprehensive report
Assessment + a detailed report covering your history, results and personalised recommendations. Often the better fit for those who require formal documentation. Please note if your goal is for NDIS, reports by a registered psychologist may not be sufficient to meet NDIS requirements.
option 2diagnostic assessment + diagnostic letter
Assessment + diagnostic letter outlining assessments used, diagnostic outcome and personalised recommendations. Designed for those who don’t need a formal report. May be used for basic workplace or educational accommodations or confirmation of diagnosis. Please note a diagnosis letter is insufficient for NDIS.
