Nikodemus Uecker Psychologist (Provisional)

Supporting Learning for Children with Needs 35 Hermitage Parade, Derrimut, Victoria, 3026

Overview

Hello, I'm Niko. I am a provisional psychologist with a strong academic background, currently progressing through a Master of Clinical Psychology after completing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and Master of Professional Psychology. I have practical experience in individual therapy, psychological assessment, and group programs, including supporting neurodivergent children through structured activities and therapeutic groups. I aim to bring warmth, professionalism, and an evidence‑based approach to my work, drawing on skills in cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, counselling, and strengths‑focused practice. I have experience supporting young people with diverse emotional, behavioural, and developmental support needs, and I am confident in delivering clear, collaborative therapy plans and reports. Alongside my clinical skills, I have a background in leadership, group facilitation, and martial arts instruction, which reflects my calm presence, patience, and ability to build strong rapport with children and adolescents. I am fluent in both English and German. I provide culturally responsive care and I am deeply committed to helping young people thrive.
