Is anxiety or your mood making everyday life harder?

Are you wondering whether you or your child may have ADHD or Autism?

Looking for support for your child, teenager, or yourself?

Nikki is an AHPRA Registered Psychologist who works with children from age three, adolescents, and adults. Her approach combines evidence-based therapy with genuine curiosity and care for each person she works with.

Nikki often works with people experiencing more than one challenge at a time — such as long-term anxiety, trauma, difficulties with mood, or questions about whether they or their child may have Autism or ADHD.

Her main areas of expertise include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, and bipolar disorder. She also works with people experiencing borderline personality disorder (BPD), schizophrenia, and intellectual disability.

Nikki takes a nurturing, person-centred approach and works collaboratively with each client. Sessions are paced according to individual needs, with a focus on developing practical skills to manage emotions, cope with change or loss, and navigate life’s challenges.

Nikki is also experienced in psychological assessments, including Autism assessments using the ADOS-2 and ADHD assessments. She works with a multidisciplinary team of specialists when completing these assessments.

Depending on each person’s needs, Nikki may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based approaches. She may also explore how early experiences and relationships can influence how we think, feel, and respond today.

Outside of work, Nikki enjoys running, Pilates, yoga, meditation, the beach, and spending time with friends and family.

Nikki is currently accepting new clients, including children, adolescents, and adults.
