Amanda Sturrock
Registered Psychologist
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Founder, The Sanctuary Tree
Amanda works with teens aged 16+, adults, and families, supporting clients to understand their experiences better and find practical ways forward that align with how they think and live. She has a strong interest in neurodivergent-affirming care and takes an individualised approach to each person she works with. Her work often involves helping clients make sense of long-standing patterns, particularly where previous approaches have not quite fit. Amanda also provides ADHD and autism screening for people aged 18-30, with a focus on understanding each person's story alongside formal screening tools. Amanda's background includes teaching philosophy, equity, and comparative religion, which informs her respect for diverse perspectives, values, and belief systems. Clients are welcome to bring all aspects of their identity into the space. Her approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in helping people move from overwhelm toward greater clarity and stability.
