Carlie Robertson
PGdip Occupational Therapy, MSc Health Through Occupation
Hi, I’m Carlie
I’m an Endorsed Mental Health Occupational Therapist with nearly two decades of experience working across public and private mental health services in Australia and overseas. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of their most complex and vulnerable moments — while also contributing to research, service development, and the training of other health professionals.
I’m also a late-diagnosed ADHDer , which I now understand has deeply shaped both my personal understanding and the way I work. Like many of the people I support, I spent years over-functioning, and wondering why things that looked “fine” on the outside felt so hard on the inside. That lived experience now sits alongside my clinical training, informing a practice that is practical, compassionate, and genuinely neuro-affirming.
At the heart of my work is helping people reconnect with what actually matters to them, not what they’ve been told should matter. I work collaboratively, tailoring support to your unique nervous system, goals, and real-world demands, while building on your existing strengths (even the ones that don’t always feel like strengths yet).
My approach is relaxed, sometimes a little quirky and gently unorthodox, grounded in trust, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic relationship. My aim is to help you feel more aligned within yourself and your everyday life, and to support change that feels sustainable, meaningful, and truly your own.
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year
