<a href="https://www.hotdoc.com.au/medical-centres/werribee-VIC-3030/growth-minded-psychology/doctors">www.growthminded.com.au </a> Julian O’Sullivan is a compassionate and experienced registered psychologist dedicated to supporting adults through life’s challenges. Based at Growth Minded Psychology in Werribee, Julian offers individual therapy and comprehensive adult autism assessments, with a focus on delivering practical, evidence-based care grounded in genuine human connection. Julian has been working in counselling and mental health since 2010 and began practicing as a registered psychologist in 2023. He is a member of the Australian Psychological Society and is fully registered with AHPRA. His career reflects a long-standing commitment to mental wellbeing, emotional growth, and personalised care. Julian specialises in working with adults aged 18+ across a broad range of mental health concerns. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, low self-esteem, identity issues, or difficulties in relationships or at work, Julian brings both empathy and professional insight to help you understand your experiences and move forward. He also provides support for people navigating eating disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, addictive behaviours, and social isolation. His approach to therapy is integrative—blending cognitive behavioural techniques with psychodynamic thinking. This means he not only helps clients manage symptoms and build coping tools, but also explores deeper patterns that may be influencing current struggles. Sessions are collaborative, non-judgemental, and focused on creating a space where clients feel safe to be open and reflective. Julian also offers autism assessments for adults, using gold-standard tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2). These assessments are thorough, respectful, and geared toward helping individuals understand themselves better—whether for personal clarity, formal diagnosis, or support planning. Julian also collaborates with other healthcare providers when appropriate, to ensure a holistic picture of each client’s needs.
