Nerida Saunders
Psychologist
82 Keith Compton Drive, Units 3 & 4, Tweed Heads 2485, Australia
About
As a senior psychologist, I have worked with individuals of all ages in areas such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Behavioural Issues, Learning Difficulties, PTSD, and other conditions. Psychotherapy offers great tools for developing coping strategies, but it is not always enough when problems are persistent. In contrast, qEEG Brain Mapping and Neuromodulation are science-based processes that uncover an individual’s brain function. This combined approach, along with my acceptance of the individual are my most effective counselling tools. I am available at Brain Care, in Tweed Heads.
