Our approach
OK Psychology delivers cognitive behaviour therapy, hypnotherapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy tailored to each child's needs and goals. Sessions focus on equipping young people with practical skills and strategies to handle stress, emotional challenges, and behavioural difficulties. The practice aims to get clients functioning well as quickly as possible using evidence-based techniques, with psychologists working flexibly to meet individual needs. Standard consults run for 50 minutes and the number of sessions is negotiated based on what each child requires, recognising that some may need just one appointment to gain helpful tools.
Meet the team
OK Psychology is led by Simon Andrews, the Principal Psychologist and a registered member of the Clinical College of the Australian Psychological Society with over 25 years of experience, including specialised training in resilience and child development. The team includes six registered psychologists—Demelza Sears, Ann Weir, Aditi Shirali, Jodie Williams, Danielle Forward, and Reza Danish—each bringing expertise in areas such as anxiety, ADHD, autism, learning difficulties, trauma, and disability. The administration team including Practice Manager Fiona Ferguson and receptionists provide professional support to ensure smooth, quality service delivery.
Your first visit
A first appointment involves an initial assessment where the psychologist works with you to understand your child's difficulties and goals. The session lasts 50 minutes and is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, gather relevant information, and begin identifying helpful strategies. For families seeking formal assessments (such as for ADHD, autism or learning difficulties), these include comprehensive testing, consultations, and a detailed written report. The practice is open to both Medicare consults (with a GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan) and private consults, with fees and insurance details clarified before your appointment.
