Affirming psychologists who provide warmth, safety, and understanding via Telehealth, Australia-wide.
Welcome to Your Safe Space
At The Neuro Nurture Collective, we believe in the power of empathy, understanding, and genuine connection. Our psychologists are dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment where every person is valued and heard. With a focus on neurodiversity-affirming practice and trauma-informed care, we recognise the unique experiences and strengths that you bring. Whether you are navigating the complexities of everyday life, exploring your identity, or healing from past trauma, we are here to walk alongside you on your journey.
Affirming Care for All Identities
We proudly stand as allies of the LGBTQIA+ community and affirm the diverse identities and experiences of all our clients. Our psychologists approach each session with a deep respect for your individuality, fostering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. We understand that everyone’s path and background is different, and we are committed to tailoring our therapeutic approaches to meet your specific needs. We understand highly masking, or internalised presentations of autism, and support late-diagnosed adults to unpack what this means to them and how it affects their daily life.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
We focus on a holistic understanding of mental health and neurotype. We use a range of adaptive, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, while also honouring the lived experiences that shape your perspective. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or self-discovery, we offer a compassionate space to work through difficulties you are experiencing.

Book an appointment by creating a log in to our portal - we use 'Zanda'. You can click through the calendar to find the next available appointment that matches your schedule.

We will email you links to an intake and consent form, and ask you to send us a Mental Healthcare Plan if you have booked a 'MHTP' session. Forms need to be completed at least one week before your appointment. For therapy clients, we ask for your bank card details and will take the fee from your account after the session. For assessment clients, you will receive an invoice to be paid prior.

Once intake and consent forms are completed, you will receive a Telehealth link via email. We use Zanda's Telehealth functionality so you don't need to download any software - just click the link. It is a secure platform and adheres to Australian privacy laws. At the end of your session, your psychologist will check in on if you have future sessions booked, or if you would like to book more in the calendar.

Can I use my report to apply for NDIS?If you intend to apply for NDIS funding, we suggest you see a 'clinical psychologist' for your assessment. Esther is a 'registered psychologist', and although assessments with her are a formal diagnostic process, the NDIS requires reports to be signed by a clinical psychologist to be considered valid in the application process.

What is your payment policy?When booking an adult autism assessment session, the system will require a deposit to secure your timeslot. This is through a secure online software (Stripe). We ask that you make the full payment at least 48 hours before your assessment session, otherwise, we will reschedule. If you change your mind about the assessment and no longer wish to go ahead, please just email at least one week before your session, and I will refund your deposit. When booking therapy sessions, we ask that card payment details are provided before your first session, and your payment will automatically occur after the session. Our software, Zanda does not store client credit card details. All credit card information will be stored by Stripe. Stripe encrypts all card numbers on disk with AES-256 encryption and stores decryption keys on separate machines. Stripe is certified as a PCI Service Provider – Level 1, which is the highest level of certification available as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. You can read more about Stripe's security here. We accept Mental Healthcare Treatment Plans, NDIS Self-Managed Clients, and Privately Paying clients. We are sorry but we do not have the capacity for bulk billing at this time.
