Reshma is a warm, compassionate and experienced psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals across the lifespan. She works with children, adolescents and adults, providing a safe, collaborative and non-judgemental space where clients feel heard, understood and supported.

Reshma has experience working across a range of settings, including private practice, community mental health, NDIS and inpatient psychiatric services. Her diverse clinical background has provided her with experience supporting individuals with a broad range of psychological, emotional, behavioural and developmental concerns.

She works with adults experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, depression, adjustment difficulties, trauma, personality disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, interpersonal and relationship challenges, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. Reshma recognises that psychological difficulties are often complex and interconnected, and takes a holistic, individualised approach to understanding each client's unique experiences, strengths and goals.

Alongside her clinical practice, Reshma is a Teaching Associate at Monash University, reflecting her ongoing involvement in psychology education and commitment to professional learning and development.

Working with Children, Families and Schools

Reshma also enjoys working with children, adolescents and their families, supporting a range of emotional, behavioural, social and developmental concerns.

As a mother herself, Reshma understands both the rewards and complexities of parenting, and recognises that every child is an individual with their own strengths, personality and needs. She is passionate about helping children build emotional resilience, confidence and the skills to navigate life's challenges, while supporting parents to better understand and respond to their child's needs.

Reshma values a collaborative approach and, where appropriate, works closely with parents, caregivers, schools and other professionals to promote a consistent and supportive environment for children and young people. She recognises the important role that families and educational settings play in a child's development and wellbeing.

She is particularly attuned to the cultural diversity of the city, and leverage a culturally sensitive, evidence-based methodology to deliver personalised care to align with the cultural norms and values of the diverse groups.

Growing up embracing two cultures has profoundly influenced her own sense of identity, and she is passionate about exploring the challenges that are an inherent part of being alive today - issues of identity, inclusivity, and belonging.


  • Many people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds who encounter mental health issues often find it difficult or are unwilling to seek assistance. This reluctance typically stems from a lack of mental health services or professionals that are culturally sensitive.

    Other obstacles include culturally-prescribed stigmas surrounding mental health and seeking help for it, varied interpretations and manifestations of mental health symptoms across cultures, and limited knowledge of Western healthcare systems.

    I focus on providing culturally-sensitive, practice-based care, particularly within CALD communities.
