Julian Douglas
Registered Psychologist
Julian works with children, teenagers, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, and behavioural challenges. Julian also works closely with parents and families, offering guidance and practical strategies to support children and adolescents at home and school. He also has experience in supervising core practitioners.
Julian has a strong interest in neurodiversity and provides both therapy and comprehensive psychometric assessments for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and learning disorders. Julian takes a neuroaffirming approach to his work and adapts therapy to suit each person’s needs, pace, and goals. He creates a space that feels safe, collaborative, where clients feel heard and supported, while still gently challenged to grow. Rather than trying to “fix” who someone is, he works alongside clients to build insight, confidence, and strategies for navigating challenges.
Julian believes that understanding how your brain works is often the first step toward meaningful change. He recognises that while neurodivergence brings strengths, it can also come with very real difficulties, and therapy focuses on supporting both self-acceptance and skill development.
