Meet Heather at a Glance
Hello there! I am Heather, a neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist Registrar with particular interest in neurodevelopment. My background includes private and community practice, where she has engaged in detailed assessment and diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and collaborative care coordination.
I strive to ensure that the assessment process provides warmth, safety, and supportive recommendations, valuing the individual as the expert of their own experiences. My approach is collaborative, and I often consult with paediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and other allied health professionals to ensure a holistic approach to understanding the individual's needs and informing support recommendations.
Personal Insight Questions:
What’s something small that always brings you comfort or joy?
Being in nature, learning about animals (especially sea life) or a good, soft blanket.
What’s your favourite way to unwind after a long day?
Cuddles with pets (I have two dogs and a cat), combined with sensory regulation practices.
