Hi there, my name is Emma. I’m a registered clinical psychologist and the human behind Willoway Psychology (the non-human being my dog, who you’ll meet below).

I’ve been deep diving into the world of neurodiversity-affirming practice for a while now, and I’m incredibly passionate about connecting with the neurodivergent community. I work especially with women and non-binary teens or young adults who might be seen as “high-masking”. This has led to the creation of Willoway Psychology, where I aim to create a safe and supportive space for people who have frequently felt misunderstood, which you can join from the comfort of your own home.

My approach is compassion-focused and trauma-informed. I know that a lot of unidentified neurodivergent folk go years feeling misunderstood, and I try to hold space for that through acceptance and collaboration. I like to keep things relaxed and down-to-earth. You are the expert on you; my job is to learn and support by adding the stuff from my brain to your brain.

I’m an accredited member of LOAPAC (League of Autistic Psychologists and Affirming Colleagues) and the AAPI (Australian Association of Psychologists).

Qualifications

• Master of Psychology (Clinical) - The University of Melbourne

• Bachelor of Arts (Degree with Honours) - The University of Melbourne

As a human, I’m neurodivergent and spend most of my free time binging anime, levelling up my favourite video game characters, or obsessing over my dog (who’s basically running things here).
