Our Team.

Kerrin Danswan

Kerrin founded Cognitive Assessments Australia with a clear purpose - to create a practice where every person who walks through the door feels genuinely understood, not just assessed.

​

With over a decade of experience as a Clinical Psychologist, Kerrin has worked across diverse settings including private practice, government, and forensic psychology, giving her a depth of insight that few clinicians can match. She brings that breadth of experience to every client she works with, whether she is supporting a young child navigating school difficulties or an adult finally seeking answers after years of uncertainty.

 

Alongside her assessment work, Kerrin has a deep passion for psychological therapy. She works with adolescents and adults across a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and the unique challenges that come with being neurodivergent in a world not always designed for you. Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and deeply human - she meets every client exactly where they are.

​

Kerrin is committed to neuro-affirming practice in everything she does. She believes that understanding how a person's brain work and communicating that clearly and compassionately can be genuinely life-changing.

​

Please note that Kerrin is not currently taking on new clients. We warmly invite you to meet our wonderful team, all of whom share Kerrin's commitment to exceptional, neuro-affirming care.

Kerrin conducts the following assessments:

• Autism assessments

• ADHD assessments

• Diagnostic assessments

• Forensic assessments
