Hello, I'm Vittoria
Hello, I'm Vittoria. I am a Psychologist committed to forming strong therapeutic relationships with individuals and families as we explore their challenges, aspirations, and relationships. My approach centres on affirmation and a trauma-informed perspective in both assessment and intervention. I strongly believe that assessment is just one aspect of understanding how we learn and engage with the world. This comprehension can shed light on areas of strength or difficulty and guide decisions regarding future development and support.
My passion lies in collaborating with neurodivergent individuals, the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community, and students, both in university and vocational settings. I completed my Bachelor of Psychology (Honours 1st Class) at Charles Sturt University and pursued my Master of Professional Psychology at Macquarie University. Additionally, I hold Diplomas in Training and Assessment, Learning Design and Development, and Business Administration.

My Story
My professional journey spans teaching in vocational colleges, both face-to-face and online, offering unique insights into how assessment and intervention can aid us in navigating the challenges of learning and life. I am well-versed and experienced in administering cognitive, Autism, and ADHD assessments. Moreover, I have a profound interest in working with neurodivergent couples and families and have honed my skills in using Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My extensive experience encompasses both school and private settings, where I have conducted and reported on assessments for ADHD, ASD, and cognitive difficulties. Additionally, I find great satisfaction in working with NDIS clients, aiming to provide tailored and effective support.
On a personal note, I have two adult children who have taken very different paths through school, TAFE, and university. When I'm not engaged in my work, I indulge in watching K-Dramas, exploring new languages, trying diverse cuisines, and cherishing moments with my family and pets.
Every person's experience with assessment and therapy is unique. Whether you're in the process of identifying your goals or already have a clear objective in mind, our journey together begins right where you are!
