Gabrielle Desmond (She/her)Psychologist

Overview

Gabby is a warm and lighthearted psychologist who values genuine connection in therapy. Clients often describe her as relatable and easy to talk to, creating a space where they feel truly understood. With a neuro affirming, person-centred and non-demanding approach, Gabby believes that therapy should adapt to the individual, not the other way around. She empowers clients to bring what they need to each session, offering guidance rather than pressure. Gabby has experience working in private practice across the lifespan, with a strong passion for neuroaffirming therapy and assessment. She is passionate about working with neurodivergent clients, particularly those with autism and ADHD, as well as sex workers and the LGBTQIA+ community. She values each client as a person first, bringing genuine curiosity and respect to understanding their unique experiences.
