Colette (she/her) is a brilliant Clinical Psychologist on our team with a special interest in adult ADHD assessment. She is passionate about providing high-quality care that is both clinically rigorous and genuinely human.

​

People who work with Colette describe her as caring, reliable, knowledgeable, and approachable, with a warm sense of humour.

 

Colette was drawn to providing ADHD assessments with MindMatters Clinic after seeing the meaningful difference a thoughtful and supportive assessment process can make in people’s lives, and how rare it is for people to experience a genuinely supportive assessment process.

​

Colette’s clinical experience spans Aotearoa New Zealand and South Africa, including work across hospital, forensic, and general adult mental health settings. She has also supported adults who have experienced psychological trauma and is mindful of the ways trauma can shape people’s experiences and wellbeing. Colette’s postgraduate research was internally published in Critical Arts.

​

Outside of her psychology practice, Colette is a devoted cat lover. In her spare time she enjoys treasure hunting in op shops and getting lost in a good novel. She is based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

​

Originally from South Africa, Colette also speaks Afrikaans.
