What The helps with

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy tailored to an individual's specific goals and needs. Delivered by a qualified therapist, individual sessions provide a private, focused space to work through personal challenges at a pace that suits the person.

Couples Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Family Therapy

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

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.

Cognitive Assessment

A standardised assessment of thinking, learning and memory abilities administered by a psychologist. Results identify a person's cognitive profile, highlight strengths and areas of difficulty, and inform recommendations for school support, therapy and NDIS access.

Learning Disorder Assessment

Targeted teaching and therapy to help children develop reading, writing and spelling skills, including support for dyslexia, language disorders and learning difficulties. Structured, evidence-based approaches build the foundations of literacy from the ground up.

Intellectual Disability Assessment

Educational Assessment

DVA Psychological Assessment and Reports

Psychological assessments and reports for DVA clients, including support with PTSD, trauma, and military-related mental health concerns.

Our approach

The Psych Collective emphasises helping people develop deeper understanding of their mental health symptoms and conditions, then learn practical skills to manage them and tackle root causes. Sessions focus on providing actionable strategies and real skills to support meaningful change. The approach draws on evidence-based methods including Schema Therapy and DBT, with an emphasis on making complex information accessible and easy to understand. Resources are offered in multiple formats—videos, infographics, worksheets, text-based guides, and handouts—so you can choose what works best for your learning style.

Meet the team

The team includes Jessica O'Garr, a clinical psychologist who specialises in trauma and is an APHRA-accredited supervisor, and Dr Al Griskaitis, a psychiatrist who works primarily with occupational PTSD in military veterans and current and former police officers. Both are described as experienced clinicians passionate about making mental health practical, accessible, and evidence-based. Jess runs therapy groups for DBT, Trauma and Sleep, and can provide clinical supervision to psychologists in Australia.
