Meet the Team

 Yasmin is the founder and Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist at CNS. She has over 15 years of experience working in a range of private, community and educational settings, including the Royal Children's Hospital, Epworth Hospital, Take Two, and the Berry Street School. She finds it immensely rewarding to help children overcome challenges and difficulties in their lives and watch their self-confidence grow.

 Yasmin's clinical approach draws on collaborative partnerships, and ensures that her work is not only evidence-based, but also relevant and responsive to the needs of the child.  Her clinical practice specialises in assessments and support for individuals with complex and unique needs, or who may be considered difficult to engage. 

 Apart from being a Neuropsychologist, Yasmin is a mother, expert slime-maker, a patient listener to detailed Minecraft explanations, and she can sing along to The Wiggles "Hot Potato and The Shimmie Shake". Outside of work, Yasmin enjoys gardening, and exploring the outdoors with her family and dogs.
