Registered Psychologist
Madiha Abid is a registered psychologist with a strong background in both psychological intervention and diagnostic assessment. She holds an MSc in Psychology and BA degrees in Psychology and Education, with a focus on Educational Psychology and Counselling.
Madiha works collaboratively with clients to develop tailored treatment plans that integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based strategies.

A significant focus of Madiha’s work involves the NDIS sector.

Her detailed reports play a crucial role in securing NDIS funding, informing educational planning, and supporting medico-legal matters.
