I'm happy to provide brief supporting letters for established clients as part of their ongoing psychotherapy. However, I generally don't offer comprehensive psychological assessments or detailed report-writing services, such as those required for medicolegal matters; DSP or NDIS applications; or formal diagnostic assessments for ADHD, Autism, or learning differences.

I have substantial experience working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and am committed to ongoing learning in culturally safe and responsive practice.
