Dr Gal
Principal Psychologist
Gal is a Clinical Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor who completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology at Griffith University, with research and published work in autism and parent wellbeing. She is an accredited Parent-Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT) and has undertaken extensive training in the assessment and support of neurodivergent profiles, alongside training in EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Circle of Security (Trained Circle of Security Facilitator by COSI) .
Gal's therapeutic work draws on attachment theory, IFS parts work, and an understanding of the nervous system's role in how we respond to stress and connection. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, she works to understand the deeper patterns, relationships, and internal dynamics shaping a person's experience, helping clients build a more secure, integrated relationship with themselves and the people they love. This might look like helping a parent understand their own attachment history so they can respond differently to their child, using IFS to help a client understand and work with different "parts" of themselves, or using EMDR to process difficult or traumatic experiences that continue to shape someone's present.
Gal offers a range of services including telehealth, home visits, cognitive and learning assessments, NDIS reviews, functional assessments, and individual therapy across the lifespan. Comprehensive diagnostic assessments are currently available for autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and other cognitive conditions, with a strong focus on conceptualisation — understanding not just whether a diagnosis applies, but what it means for that person's life, relationships, and support needs. Sessions are tailored to each client's individual needs and personal characteristics, with a focus on building from their strengths.
Gal supports clients with a wide range of presentations, including neurodivergent conditions, depression, anxiety, and OCD, as well as parents navigating the perinatal period from conception through to parenthood. Whether working with a child, an adult, or a parent trying to better understand and support their child, Gal's aim is the same: to help people feel truly understood, and to support real, lasting change, not just insight into what needs to change.
In her spare time, Gal enjoys spending time with her family, going out for good food, reading, watching movies, and cooking or making cocktails (when not pregnant haha) for friends and family.
"As a mum myself, I know what it is like to balance work, life and wellbeing, and how powerful it can feel when someone truly sees and hears you. That's the heart of how I practise. I provide the care I would want for my own family." ~ Dr Gal
