Iris Waite | Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar

Iris is a registered psychologist who is nearing completion of her clinical registrar programme. She will be providing holistic and affirming assessment services at Coolangatta Psychology.

Iris has extensive experiences across psychiatric hospitals, primary schools, crisis management safe spaces, and private clinics. Iris brings a compassionate, evidence-based approach to evaluating and supporting children, adolescents, and adults with a range of developmental, cognitive, and learning profiles.

With a deep understanding of how the brain develops and functions across the lifespan, Iris conducts comprehensive assessments to identify learning difficulties, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, intellectual and developmental delays, and other neurodiverse profiles. These evaluations are tailored to each individual’s unique strengths and challenges and are designed to inform personalised recommendations for educational planning, accommodations, therapeutic supports, and intervention strategies.

A message from Iris:

“I believe that no one is immune to mental health difficulties and we all deserve help. You have so many internal resources within you as you have survived 100% of your hard days. We all need extra help at times, psychotherapy is for everyone. I hope that I can be a guide in your journey to discover and use different tools to handle life's challenges.”

Iris is an Independent Practitioner consulting at Coolangatta Psychology.
