Founder, Clinically Registered Counsellor & Clinical Supervisor
Moving Beyond the Performance
I work with teens, professionals, and adults who are thoroughly exhausted from constantly performing, masking, or trying to fit into environments that do not align with their unique way of thinking. Therapy here is not another role you have to get right. It is an authentic partnership where we move at your rhythm to build genuine, internal safety.
My practice is built on a deep commitment to safety and a fundamental belief in personal sovereignty, meaning that in this space, you are always in control of your story.
I'm a Clinical Counsellor, grounded in a background in Psychological Science and a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I provide a steady, relational space alongside you. As an accredited Clinical Supervisor (Levels 1, 2 & 3), I also mentor and supervise fellow practitioners across all stages of practice; a commitment to clinical depth and integrity that deeply informs my work with clients.
To recharge my own battery, I love nothing more than being out in nature, especially with my dog, Gracie.

Mihiri Weerasinghe Educational and Developmental Psychologist
At the core of Mihiri's work is an empathic curiosity for individuals and their worldview. She is a neurodiversity-affirming psychologist who is passionate about helping children, young people, and families better understand how they think, learn, and experience the world, bringing a warm, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate approach to every assessment.
One of the things we love most about Mihiri is that assessments are her happy place. She believes a good assessment should do more than provide answers, it should help families feel understood, supported, and confident about the next steps. She genuinely enjoys the process of uncovering each young person's unique strengths and profile, translating complex clinical insights into meaningful, practical recommendations that help kids thrive at home, at school, and in everyday life. She provides comprehensive Autism, ADHD, and Cognitive assessments using a collaborative, strengths-based lens.
Mihiri holds a Master of Educational Psychology from the University of Melbourne and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology from Monash University. She is registered with AHPRA and is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and brings extensive experience working across private practice, schools, and community settings.
When she isn't at the clinic, you'll usually find Mihiri spending time in her garden or going for leisurely walks with Taali, her beloved Groodle.
Assessment Process
A collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming path to understanding your child's unique strengths and learning profile.
Initial Parent Intake Consultation:
Understanding your child's background, history, and goals. Mihiri will begin with a detailed consultation with parents/carers. Mihiri takes the time to listen to your concerns, review developmental history, understand school context, and outline the specific goals of the assessment. If you don't yet have a paediatrician referral, that's not a barrier to starting — we recommend booking a paediatrician appointment in parallel, as they'll need to be involved in your child's ongoing care.
Comprehensive Assessment Sessions:
Tailored, engaging, and strengths-based testing. Mihiri conducts 1-on-1 assessment sessions with your child in a warm, low-pressure environment. Using standardized diagnostic tools, she assesses cognitive, academic, or neurodevelopmental profiles (Autism/ADHD) while keeping sessions engaging and supportive. For some assessments, such as ADHD, this may also include gathering feedback from your child's teacher to build a fuller picture of how they're going at school as well as at home.
Comprehensive Clinical Report:
Formal profiling, clear findings, and actionable recommendations. Mihiri synthesizes the clinical data into a clear, detailed written report. This includes formal diagnostic profiling (if applicable), learning strengths, and practical recommendations tailored specifically for home, classroom, and school accommodations. We can also send this report through to your paediatrician ahead of your appointment with them.
Feedback & Roadmap Session:
Reviewing results together and answering all your questions. You will meet for a dedicated parent feedback session to go over the report line-by-line. Mihiri translates complex clinical findings into practical insights and gives you a clear roadmap to support your child moving forward.
