Gisele Fortkamp

Hello, I’m Gisele, a compassionate psychologist dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages on their journey to mental well-being. Trained in Brazil and fully certified in Australia, I offer a diverse perspective to my practice. My passion for helping others extends to my work with children, where I assist parents in behavior management and guide children in developing essential skills such as emotional regulation, social-emotional awareness, communication, and self-esteem. Additionally, I work with ADHD management in both children and adults. ADHD can significantly impact daily life, affecting focus, impulsivity, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Through a holistic approach blending empathy and evidence-based techniques, I create a safe and supportive environment where families can navigate these challenges and build resilience with strategies tailored to the unique needs of each individual and family dynamic. Beyond my work with children and families, I have a strong interest in positive psychology and self-esteem development, particularly with women. I believe in empowering individuals to embrace their strengths and lead fulfilling lives. To better support clients facing these challenges, I specialize in psychodrama back in Brazil. Psychodrama is a therapeutic approach that fosters self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional healing by exploring emotions, conflicts, and traumas through role-playing and action methods. Developed by psychiatrist Jacob L. Moreno, psychodrama aims to help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by adopting various roles and perspectives. I facilitate this process, providing support, insight, and guidance as needed, while fostering spontaneity, creativity, and emotional expression in a safe and welcoming environment. As a bilingual speaker fluent in both Portuguese and English, I ensure effective communication and understanding. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, together we’ll work towards achieving your goals.
