Max Stoneman
Registered Psychologist
I work with clients of all ages with and without neurodevelopmental conditions. I also enjoy working with families and NDIS participants.
I offer therapy services for the following:
- Challenges associated with Autism and ADHD
- Sport and performance psychology
- Anxiety, depression, and stress
- Emotional regulation
- Social and emotional difficulties, including bullying and reduced self-esteem
- Executive functioning
- Daily living skills for NDIS participants
- Person-environment mismatch, such as school refusal and school can't
- Parenting and caregiver relationships, including with neurodivergent individuals
- Life transitions, such as school graduation and entering the workforce
- Grief
- Perinatal mental health (coming soon)
I work with a diverse range of individuals of all ages seeking support for their unique difficulties; parents wanting to foster stronger connections with their children; and NDIS participants striving for greater independence. I also welcome university students looking to understand their learning style, and anyone navigating relationship complexities or seeking to enhance their emotional well-being and mental health.
Throughout my psychology journey, I've been continually inspired by the power of human connection in fostering growth and healing. My practice is built on a foundation of trust and honesty, allowing me to provide consistent support and cultivate strong, enduring relationships with my clients. I find profound satisfaction in the daily opportunity to guide and empower individuals as they work towards their unique aspirations.
Transitioning from a career in the sports industry to psychology has been an insightful, challenging, and deeply rewarding journey. I am consistently inspired by the individuals I work with, and I prioritise building my practice upon a foundation of honesty and trust.
My practice is built upon a foundation of connection, with a primary focus on cultivating a robust therapeutic alliance. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to reach a higher level of self-awareness through sessions that are carefully customised to align with their specific goals. Adopting a strengths-based outlook, I provide support characterised by empathy and compassion.
It is an honour to provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where meaningful change can occur and to see the positive difference our work makes in their lives.
I appreciate Scope's emphasis on flexibility and self-care, which underscores their commitment to team wellbeing. The collaborative environment, driven by strong teamwork among colleagues and outstanding administrative assistance, makes for an exceptionally supportive workplace. Scope's rigorous adherence to clear protocols, compliance, and dependable assessment offerings ensures a stable and professional setting for both team and clients.
Beyond my work, I'm passionate about fitness and sports, and you'll often find me running. I also enjoy watching AFL and Triathlon and watching Lord of the Rings.
