Helan Pereira

Registered Psychologist

I am passionate about supporting individuals and their families to find and develop their strengths. In the last thirty years, I have worked in diverse settings including children’s services, disability, tertiary education and vocational rehabilitation. Having a neurodivergent family member has provided me with an understanding of this journey and the impetus to support neurodivergent individuals in their school, home and work life. I am also passionate about supporting families from culturally diverse backgrounds to strengthen in their journey supporting their neurodivergent family members.

My approach is to provide a client-centred supportive space and when appropriate, I may incorporate various art materials (e.g., pencils, paint, and clay) to support clients to connect with their thoughts and emotions and developing strategies to move towards their goals.

Outside of work, you will find me in my art studio, spending time with family, growing tropical trees and flowers and watching food channels on You-Tube.
