Clinical Psychologist
Dr Donna Hosford
Donna is a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in supporting children and adolescents with challenges such as anxiety, mood difficulties, behaviour, trauma, and neurodivergence. With a warm, nonjudgemental approach, she takes time to understand the whole person recognising that each individual brings a unique story and set of strengths.
Drawing on current research in neurobiology and developmental psychology, Donna integrates science with compassion to offer holistic, evidence-based care. This includes helping families understand how brain development, attachment, and learning shape behaviour and emotional wellbeing.
Donna is also a registered diagnostician with Autism SA and co-directs a Dual Diagnostic Autism Assessment Clinic with Jodie May, Speech Pathologist. Their collaborative assessments offer a thorough, multidisciplinary perspective that supports accurate diagnosis and meaningful, individualised recommendations.
Families are welcomed into a safe, inclusive space where every person is seen, heard, and supported with empathy and clinical expertise.
