ADHD Assessment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Autism Assessment

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

Our approach

Positive Wellbeing's psychologists and psychiatrists deliver evidence-based, personalised support informed by the latest research. Sessions are collaborative, with clinicians creating a safe, confidential space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. The practice uses an integrated model where psychologists and psychiatrists work together to ensure shared understanding of each client's needs. Treatment is shaped around individual strengths, goals, and neurotype, with approaches tailored to the specific challenges being addressed—whether anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, or other mental health concerns. All clinicians prioritise developing a strong therapeutic alliance and offer flexible access through in-person sessions at the Armadale clinic or secure telehealth.

Meet the team

The team includes eight psychologists and two psychiatrists, all highly trained professionals registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and their respective professional bodies. Psychologists specialise in areas including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, neurodiversity-affirming care, eating disorders, and life transitions, with many having additional training in executive function, attachment, and identity work. The two psychiatrists, Dr Aaron Fernandez and Dr Thomas Sellitto, provide psychiatric assessment and medication management with special interests in ADHD, neurodiversity-affirming care, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and attachment-informed approaches. The team works collaboratively within an integrated model, sharing clinical insights and coordinating care under one roof to ensure seamless, personalised treatment.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, you'll meet with either a psychologist or psychiatrist to discuss your concerns and goals. The clinic director personally matches clients with the clinician who best fits their individual needs, ensuring a good therapeutic fit from the start. During the initial consultation and assessment, the clinician will work with you to understand your situation and together create a personalised treatment plan designed specifically for you. For psychiatry appointments, a detailed assessment covers your mental health history, current symptoms, and any co-occurring conditions, with a comprehensive diagnostic report and personalised recommendations provided to your GP. The clinic focuses on creating a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable exploring your challenges openly.
