Joelle has experience undertaking psychological, ADHD, IQ and educational assessments. Joelle is passionate about accurate diagnosis, enjoying teasing apart differential diagnoses, looking at the nuances and specificities of the individual to ensure the most appropriate conceptualisation of clients to develop their own understanding and receive the best support.

I am passionate about providing accurate diagnoses to enable increased client understanding and appropriate treatment. I further have found that assessment allows you to develop your understanding of the nuances of psychological presentations beyond the DSM criteria. I particularly enjoy psychological assessments and ADHD assessments and teasing a part differential diagnoses to arrive at the appropriate outcome to assist clients.

Outside of psychology Joelle enjoys hiking, going to the beach, the ballet, travelling and movies.
