ACCEPTING ASSESSMENT CLIENTS

Kelly is a Registered Psychologist who has dedicated her career to supporting children, adolescents, and their families across a range of social, emotional, behavioural, and learning needs. With extensive experience in both educational and private practice settings, Kelly is committed to helping young people build resilience, confidence, and the skills needed to thrive.

Kelly completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Curtin University and a Graduate Diploma of Education (School Psychology) at The University of Western Australia. She worked as a School Psychologist for over seven years before transitioning to private practice, where she established and operated a psychology clinic focused on supporting children and adolescents through assessment, intervention, and family support.

Kelly’s therapeutic areas of interest include ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic, behavioural challenges, bullying, fears and phobias, trauma, stress management, school-related difficulties, school reluctance and refusal, self-esteem, emotional resilience, and life transition and adjustment difficulties. She enjoys working collaboratively with young people and their families, tailoring interventions to each individual’s developmental stage and unique strengths. For younger children, Kelly incorporates play-based approaches to create a safe and engaging therapeutic environment, while adolescents are supported using age-appropriate, evidence-based strategies that foster self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence.

Kelly utilises a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and play-based interventions to support meaningful and lasting positive change.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Kelly has extensive experience conducting assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Specific Learning Disorders, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, and intellectual giftedness. Her assessment work helps identify individual strengths and challenges, providing recommendations to support success across educational and everyday settings.
