She holds both a Diploma in Counselling and a Masters in Counselling (High Distinction) and is an Associate Member of the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association and a member of The Australian Counselling Association and World Federation of ADHD. She offers a range of Mental Health Support that can help individuals with both ADHD and other Mental Health Conditions. She also holds a Masters in Education Research (Distinction) and a Bachelor of Education (Sydney University) and is a registered educator with the Victorian Institute of Teaching and The Queensland College of Educators. Juliette also acts as an advocate for Primary, Secondary and University students and offers school and workplace ADHD training.
Aside from the mental health challenges associated with the lived experience of ADHD, some conditions are known as 'ADHD co-morbidities'. Comorbid conditions exist simultaneously with ADHD. They do not go away once ADHD is diagnosed and treated. They require their own specific treatment plan which can be managed at the clinic in a shared treatment plan between the clinic counsellor and clinic doctor.
