Dr Natasha Amarasekara

Clinical Psychologist
Specialised support for 
ADHD, Anxiety, Disordered Eating

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist experienced in providing specialist eating disorder treatment for young adults and adults who have a challenging relationship with food, eating, body image, and/or exercise. My strong passion in this area has been informed by my doctoral research and I specialise in this area at the Eating Disorder Psychology Collective. I apply a holistic strengths-based approach that aims to maximise well-being and personal recovery goals. Alongside, I support neurodivergence and help clients explore possible neurodiversity, including ways to work with a differently wired brain and strategies to accomodate and support. While I offer ADHD assessments through Mind Matters Clinic, I do not conduct diagnostic assessments through Clearhead or my own private practice, but would be happy to screen/explore traits further, should this be helpful for you if determining whether to seek formal assessment from there. I also offer therapy for other mental health difficulties, with a particular interest in the areas tagged below. My therapeutic approach is underpinned by evidence-based practice tailored to the individual. My treatment approach is culturally inclusive, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity affirming. I strongly value the therapeutic alliance between myself and my clients. I am non-judgmental, empathetic, attentive, and authentic, where I aim to create a safe and inclusive space in therapy. I hold hope during times of difficulty and believes everyone is capable of reaching their personal recovery goals
