About Daniela
Experience across educational and private practice settings, assessing cognitive, learning and neurodevelopmental needs
“I have experience working across educational and private practice settings, supporting individuals with a range of cognitive, learning, neurodevelopmental and emotional needs. My primary areas of interest include ADHD, cognitive and intellectual functioning, specific learning disorders and intellectual disability.”
“I believe in a compassionate, collaborative and evidence-based approach to care. I am passionate about helping individuals better understand their unique strengths and challenges, recognising that psychological assessments are about more than just a diagnosis.”
“I strive to create a warm, welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable, heard and understood from our very first appointment. My goal is for every individual to leave the assessment process feeling empowered, with a greater understanding of themselves and practical strategies to help them thrive.”

A written report
Daniela writes a detailed report of the findings and recommendations, usually ready within 2 to 3 weeks.
Feedback and next steps
A feedback session (30 minutes to an hour), in person or by phone or video, to explain the findings in plain language and talk through practical next steps for home, school or work.
