About Be Seen Psychology

​​​​Hello hello! I am a late identified neurodivergent human, who has had an interest in 'making sense' of other's behaviour for as long as I can remember. This led me down the rabbit hole that was studying psychology - I completed a Bachelor in Psychology (Honours), while getting experience in youth work, adult mental health recovery work, and NDIS support coordination. I completed my psychology intership at two neuro-affirming clinics, gaining experience in both therapy and assessment across the lifespan. 

​

I enjoy working with clients during/post identification to navigate the sometimes confusing identity shift/re-narration that happens for many. I also have an intense interest in working with anxiety and eating disorders (plus the intersection of these with neurodivergence), and I am a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician. I value size inclusivity and work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework.

​

I would describe my approach as trauma informed, client-centred, and generally eclectic, with a focus on collaborative exploration. I want you to 'Be Seen' however that looks for you. I love working via telehealth because it allows for pet cameos (welcome and encouraged), and it can feel a little less intimidating when you're in your own safe and sensory friendly space.

 

I integrate elements of the following modalities (with neuro-affirming adjustments), depending on our goals:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Schema Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and CBT-E (ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician)

​

​Please reach out with any questions! 

Hello and welcome! My name is Zoë.

 

I am a neurodivergent psychologist who is passionate about supporting neurodivergent humans on their journey through life. Diagnosed over ten years ago, I feel deeply grateful to be part of the growing societal shift towards embracing neurodivergence and honouring the wisdom of lived experience. It is a genuine privilege to spend my days alongside some remarkable people as they navigate the complexities of life, and to witness their growth through our work together.

 

I draw on both lived and professional experience. I previously worked in the NDIS space supporting individuals with complex co-occurring neurodivergences and significant systemic barriers, and have also acted as a support person and advocate for loved ones; alongside navigating my own identification journey.

 

I believe people carry their own inherent wisdom and self-knowledge, and I hope to act as a guide in connecting with that knowledge through curiosity and compassion. I value a whole-picture approach that recognises the intersections of different neurotypes and abilities, culture, history, life experiences, sexuality, gender, privilege, and broader societal values. My aim is to create a non-hierarchical space where you can come exactly as you are, to explore your needs, identity, or values together. Because everyone is unique, I tailor my approach to each person, drawing from modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

​

I hope to provide a space where we can collaborate on finding the best way to support you, and feedback is absolutely encouraged. You may find me in session enjoying a cup of tea, with my little dog Luna in the background.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, or you can call me Steph, I don't mind either way.​

​

I am a late identified neurodivergent person who came into understanding my experience through my family, so my journey to being here as a provisional psychologist has come in a round-about way.

​

I started my first career as an IT training consultant in the corporate world, but after having children, left my career and started home schooling. This was the start of my journey to becoming a psychologist and discovering my own neurodivergence.

​

My approach is to provide a space to gain an understanding of your needs, sensitivities, who are you, and how you interact with the world. Whether you already know you are neurodivergent, or are wondering about it, I'd love to help you develop strategies and tools to assist you in being you. My approach is both neuroaffirming and gender affirming. I believe everyone should be accepted and embraced for who they are, and having family and friends in the LGBTQIA+ community, I know how important it is to feel accepted. As someone who had to process an unexpected change of circumstances, I am passionate about supporting others through life changes, both expected and unexpected. 

​

My happy place is the beach, and what makes the dopamine flow for me is anything 'K' – with the K standing for Korea (K-Pop/ K-dramas). I'm also learning Korean with a family member. I also love Wuxia and Xianxia TV shows. I enjoy learning new things, so if you want to tell me about your interest or passion, I always love a good info-dump!

​

I am interested in both therapy and assessment across the life span. ​ Please feel free to reach out if you'd like check availability for an intake session!

Hi! I'm Katelin.

 

I am a late identified ADHD girlie with a Bachelor in Science majoring in Psychology, an Honours degree in Behavioural Science, and I've recently completed my Masters in Professional Psychology.

 

As a neurodivergent person who spent a majority of their life undiagnosed and trying to understand why I found so many aspects of life challenging, I am incredibly passionate about helping others navigate neurodivergence to best understand themselves and build strategies to support daily functioning. I also have an interest in eating disorders, having spent the last two years of my career specialising in this, as well as anxiety and depressive disorders. My approach is collaborative, person-centred, and judgement-free, with curiosity and humour built into my practice. 

 

Before moving into mental health, I was a makeup artist and body painter, so I'm a bit of a creative and energetic individual who can genuinely talk with anyone. I also have three Ragdoll cats and a Japanese Spitz that keep me busy when I'm not out adventuring in nature or trying to teach myself how to play piano (badly, but it's fun).

 

If you have any questions or would like to check my availability, please reach out! I am available for both assessment and therapeutic sessions. 

Hello, my name is Ruth. I am a provisional psychologist holding a Master of Professional Psychology, Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies, and a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours). 

​

As a neurodivergent person and parent, I  bring both professional and lived experience to my work. I support individuals to build improved self-understanding, self-compassion, self-advocacy, and greater wellbeing. I work with clients experiencing anxiety or depression, those exploring their neurodivergence, and individuals managing chronic health conditions. I also enjoy supporting neurodivergent families, helping parents respond, support and advocate for their child's unique needs with curiosity and care. 

​

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centred. Drawing on evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), I also integrate somatic and mindfulness-based approaches where appropriate.

​

My therapeutic work is grounded in neuro-affirming principles and supported by over 14 years of experience in yoga-based, mind-body practices, including yoga therapy. 

​

I aim to create a calm, affirming environment where clients feel seen, supported, and able to connect with their strengths and values as they navigate life's challenges. Please reach out with any questions or to check availability for an intake session!

Hi, I'm Nina. I'm a student provisional psychologist currently completing the final two semesters of my Master of Psychological Practice. I've had a lifelong interest in human behaviour and a genuine curiosity about how people come to understand themselves, particularly when their experiences haven't always been recognised, supported, or validated. 

​

I am a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman, and receiving this understanding later in life helped me make sense of many past challenges with far more compassion and clarity. This experience strongly shapes my work and my passion for supporting neurodivergent people to explore identity, self-understanding, and the ways neurodivergence may have influenced their past and present. Whether you're newly discovering your neurodivergence or have known for some time and are looking to deepen your understanding or develop supportive strategies, I aim to offer a space that feels affirming, respectful, and genuinely understanding. 

​

As someone with lived experience of invisible disabilities and chronic illness, I bring authentic empathy, attunement, and care to therapeutic work. I am particularly passionate about supporting people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, and disability, and I have a strong interest in female health. This includes supporting neurodivergent women through peri-menopause and menopause, and the many challenges that hormonal changes can bring. I take a holistic, mind-body approach and believe it is essential to consider both physical and psychological experiences, especially given how often these intersections are dismissed or under-explored. 

​

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming. I value collaboration and autonomy, and I strongly believe you are the expert in your own life.

I have experience working in the NDIS space as a complex mental health support worker and am familiar with supporting individuals with high and intersecting support needs.

 

I am also a strong believer in the healing power of animals and animal-assisted approaches. I share my home with three much-loved cats (Odin, Sága, and Hercules) who may occasionally make a background appearance in sessions, though it would be much trickier to get a cameo from my Arabian horse Romeo.

​

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to check my availability or if you have any questions.

Hello! While I'm not one of the psychologists, I help the Be Seen Team from behind the scenes, and if you call or email our admin, I'm likely to be the one you're hearing from first. 

​

As Haylea's partner, I've been a proud supporter of Be Seen since before its beginning, and while I balance my role here alongside being a primary teacher, my main responsibilities are around invoices and receipts, maintaining the website, creating unnecessarily complicated spreadsheets to keep track of things, as well as tweaking and finalising the visual elements where I enjoy bringing Leon the Chameleon to life in the illustrations for our EYNI Workbooks and related slideshows.

​

Otherwise, as a late-diagnosed AuDHDer with a newly developed special interest in understanding and accommodating neurodivergence, one of my favourite contributions remains poring through the audiobooks, paperbacks, podcasts, and videos in order to add the best ones to our recommended resources page... and of course, info-dumping about them to anyone who will listen!
