Jess Farago is a psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPi). Jess is a passionate neuro-affirming practitioner dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals in embracing their identities. Her practice is rooted in the strengths-based and social disability models, focusing on celebrating neurodivergent strengths while scaffolding challenges in an empowering and affirming way.

Jess is available for counselling for individuals aged five and older in areas including neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, Giftedness, etc.), trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship challenges, work stressors, and identity exploration. Jess also conducts assessments for ADHD, Autism, and Giftedness (cognitive) for children 5+ to adults. Her approach is gentle, warm, and energetic, offering person-centred, lived-experience, and trauma-informed care tailored to each individual’s unique journey.

As someone who was late diagnosed as gifted-autistic (twice exceptional; 2e) and a parent to a 2e child, Jess brings a unique blend of lived experience, evidence-based research, and professional training to her work. Therapy with Jess is more than just addressing challenges—it’s about creating a space where your identity as a neurodivergent individual is celebrated. Together, your unique strengths will be explored and how they can be harnessed to overcome difficulties, fostering confidence, resilience, and self-discovery.

Jess’ approach is infused with fun, creativity, humour, and compassion. Whether it’s navigating sensory needs, exploring emotional regulation, or building skills for daily life, she aims to make therapy a safe and empowering space where you feel truly seen and understood, working together to help you thrive authentically.
