How we work here.
Connections WA is a psychology and allied health practice in Perth's southern corridor. Our psychologists, occupational therapists and assessment clinic work within one integrative framework, so the people supporting you talk to each other, with your consent.
Neurodiversity-affirming
We see autism and ADHD as different ways of being, not something to fix, and adapt to suit you.
Strengths-based
Person-centred, in Carl Rogers' tradition. You are the expert on your life, and we build on your strengths.
Many ways to pay
Pay privately or with Medicare. Claim from your health fund. Or use DVA, ADF, NDIS or WorkCover WA. See who pays.
Low-demand therapy
Some of our practitioners offer low-demand therapy for neurodivergent people. You set the pace.
Evidence-based
Our psychologists are trained in the scientist-practitioner model, so therapy is grounded in research and shaped to fit you.
Calm, comfy rooms
Soft seating, quiet rooms, playrooms and a garden. Take breaks, move, stim, bring headphones.
Our clinicians are registered with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) or accredited with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
Lean in. Listen. Create.

Online
Telehealth from home, anywhere in Australia. You need a quiet room and a device with a microphone. Camera on or off, it is your choice.
Your first visit.
You do not need to prepare anything. We are on this journey together.
For a child or teen
- First session: parents or carers
- You come without your young person. We talk about their history and check the fit.
- Then we meet your young person
- Our rooms follow the Autistic SPACE framework, so they feel calm and predictable.
- During the session
- There is a Nook couch, play items and a muscle mat. There is no right way to be.
- Tracking progress
- Routine outcome measures track the areas you want to focus on, and we review them together.
For an adult
- What happens
- We get to know you and what brings you here. Together we set goals that matter to you.
- Tracking progress
- Routine outcome measures track your goals, so we can see what helps and adjust together.
- During the session
- Need a cuppa, some water or a rest break? That is fine. Go at your own pace.
- Online sessions
- You do not need to have your camera on. It is always your choice, not ours.
With your consent, our integrative team meets to talk about your care.
Tracking progress.
We use data to guide your goals, and we look at it together.
- We use short questionnaires, called routine outcome measures.
- You fill them in online, on a secure platform called NovoPsych.
- At the start, we agree the areas you want to focus on.
- Along the way, we look at your charts together.
- The data helps us see what is working, and change what is not.
- For adults, children and teens.
