About
Hi, I'm Tiarna
Starting therapy can feel a little strange: sitting with someone new and sharing parts of yourself that don't usually get talked about. I get it, but I also know how powerful it can be when that space feels safe and supportive.
I'm curious about what shapes us, especially through the lens of relationships, early experiences and the ways we've learned to cope. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, make sense of their emotions, and shift patterns that get in the way of how they relate to others (and to themselves).
My approach is warm, collaborative and gently inquisitive. I work from an integrated approach, drawing primarily on psychodynamic therapy, so we'll go beyond surface-level symptoms to explore the deeper patterns and experiences that influence your life now. This isn't about quick fixes or generic advice. It's about a space that feels safe, steady and real.

How we can work together
Adult ADHD assessments
If you've wondered whether ADHD might explain some of what you've been experiencing, an assessment can help you understand how your mind works and what support might fit.
The assessment is thorough and includes:
- An initial conversation about what's prompting the assessment
- Standardised questionnaires, completed by you and, where possible, someone who knows you well
- A structured diagnostic interview covering childhood and adulthood
- A developmental history, plus screening for other things that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, low mood or trauma
- A feedback session to talk through the results and next steps
- A written report, with a letter to your GP or psychiatrist where appropriate
Get in touch for the current assessment fee. Please get in touch to talk about whether an assessment is right for you.
Clinical supervision
As an AHPRA Board-Approved Supervisor, I offer supportive, down-to-earth supervision for provisional and registered psychologists and other allied health professionals, tailored to your goals and where you're at in your professional journey.
