Meet Dr Nicole Hess
Psychologist - PhD (Psychology), M Psych (professional), B Psych (Hons), MAPS
A to Z Psychology is led by the vision of experienced psychologist, Dr Nicole Hess. This vision is to offer a supportive and nurturing clinic without the labels that can affect how a person is treated, but instead seeing and connecting with the real person who is so much more complex than a diagnosis can begin to explain. Paired with leading neuroscience, evidence-based and effective therapies, Nicole and her team greatly value the ability to help make significant changes in the lives of their patients, and don’t take it for granted.
Nicole is passionate about working with children and adolescents who experience neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and information processing delays. Part of this involves working with caregivers to bridge the gap of understanding when it comes to perceptual and reasoning differences that accompany a learning disability, and how these differences might affect the child’s experience of the world and thus their behaviour. She also holds a specialist interest, as well as her doctorate degree, in using non-pharmacological protocols to support and improve physiological and cognitive outcomes in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
