Discover & Support Your Authentic Self
Providing neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive psychological support for people who seek to understand themselves better and create environments where they can thrive.
Hello!
About me...
My name is Sharmayne and I am a Psychologist and AuDHDer with a passion for supporting people to realise, explore, and understand their individual self-identities and how to navigate their place in the world. I am a strong advocate for people being true to their values in whatever wonderful way they find best.
My sweet helper
During our online sessions you may meet my empathetic helper K-Dog. He is a 7yr old Rottweiler cross and loves a cuddle.
Services
ongoing remote Therapy/support
All ongoing therapy/support is provided through telehealth by video (preferred) or phone call.
Sessions are available Tuesday - Thursday each week for individuals aged 16+ years.
I am currently scheduling ahead for initial sessions in August 2025. If we are a good fit we can schedule ongoing weekly/fortnightly therapy sessions.
I have limited availability and once these fill I will offer to waitlist if appropriate.
benefits of telehealth appointments
- Reduced time and cost of associated with travel to and from appointments
- Flexibility of where you have the appointment e.g., at home, the beach, on holidays and how the appointment takes place (call/video (with options of whether you are on camera or not)/other flexible options for low spoon/low capacity days)
- Less time required off work, organising child-care etc
- More convenient and easier to fit into your busy schedule
- Reduced waiting times for services
- Your appointment can go ahead if you are unwell or need to self-isolate. Face to face appointments would need to be rescheduled.
getting the most out of telehealth appointments
- Prepare your space: Find a quiet, private space with good lighting (if possible) where you can sit/stand/or move around comfortably for the duration of the session. Make sure the room is free of external distractions that may impact on your privacy, such as housemates, or family members. You can also use headphones to improve sound quality and maintain confidentiality.
- Prepare your device/technology: Check your camera, microphone, and speaker are working, and fully charged or plugged in. You'll also need a stable internet connection. You will receive a Teams (video meeting) or phone call at your scheduled appointment time (please note that your practitioner may be running a few minutes late from a previous session but will advise you on any delays where possible).
- Prepare yourself: Prior to your sessions use the restroom, get yourself a nice drink (not alcohol), have any fidgets you like within reach, and make yourself comfortable in your prepared space - During the session if you've forgotten anything you need or would like to take a break please let Sharmayne know.
Therapy is eclectic, and client-lead. You decide on your therapy goals and will be supported to explore ways to reach these. I have experience in evidence-based therapies including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Solutions Focused Therapy
- Interpersonal Therapy
- Mindfulness strategies
- Collaborative-Proactive Solutions (CPS)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I also have experience in supporting and maintaining functional capacity and developing self-awareness and self-confidence to work towards NDIS goals for clients with this funding type.
While I welcome all individuals, I am aware that I have gaps in my lived-experience and will upskill, if appropriate, however, in some circumstances I recognise that I may not be the best fit for your needs and will refer on in these instances.
Please let me know if there are particular accommodations I can make so that you can be most comfortable when engaging in services with us.
