Sharon McDer

About

I offer a range of psychological services including general counselling (anxiety, depression, stress, post natal depression and adjustment to parenthood, grief and relationship issues). ​I am also able to assist with paediatric concerns including psychometric (cognitive/IQ) and diagnostic assessments (can be invoiced under the NDIS Early Intervention program for children up to 9 years) and behaviour support.

I also provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments for Attention Deficit Disorder (from age 6 years to adult), cognitive delay and giftedness (both of these for children aged 6 to 16 years). Please click on the Nova Neurodivergence tab above for full details, or visit www.novaneurodivergenceadhd.com.

Discuss with your general practitioner whether you are eligible to be referred for psychology services under a Mental Health Care Plan. If so, you will receive 10 Medicare rebates per calendar year, currently $98.85 per session.

I am Workcover accredited, so am able to see clients within the NSW Workers' Compensation and CTP systems. I am also able to accept referrals for clients funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) at no cost to the participant.

Please note that I am unable to see clients for whom the primary presenting problem is sexual assault, drug and alcohol misuse, or court related issues (including family court).

I have availability to accept new referrals and endeavour wherever possible to provide an appointment within two weeks. ​I do not employ a receptionist, so please understand that you may need to leave a message when you call!
