The Psychology Hub
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologists, General Psychologists, Educational & Developmental Psychologists, Mental Health and Disability Social Workers, Counsellors, Art Therapists
We provide autism assessments from 12 months of age through adulthood, using tools such as MIGDAS, ADOS-2, SRS-2, ASRS and RAADS-R as clinically indicated. Assessments are available online across Australia, with in-person attendance at our North Lakes clinic where ADOS-2 forms part of the process. We also support autistic children, teenagers and adults after diagnosis, including adults making sense of a late identification, and we work with families on communication, routines and everyday demands. No GP referral is needed to book.

Tegan Bailey
Art Therapist, Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice
I offer neurodivergent-affirming creative arts therapy for Autistic youth (13+) and adults. As a late-identified AuDHDer, I understand the complexities of masking, identity and late recognition from lived experience as well as clinical training. Sessions move at a consent-aware pace and centre on artmaking rather than performance or explanation. There is no pressure to conform. Autonomy is supported through choice of materials, pacing and participation.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
I work with trauma, anxiety and relationship struggles, using a somatic approach that brings your body into the conversation, not just your mind. I draw on processwork psychotherapy, IFS and somatic therapy.
I offer online individual therapy and couples counselling. Together we work on healing trauma, settling your nervous system, and helping you feel more grounded and at home in yourself.
