Khalil is an experienced Registered Psychologist providing psychological services to children aged 8 and above, adolescents, adults, couples, and parents seeking support in managing the challenges associated with neurodivergence, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He also works with a broad range of mental health presentations, including anxiety and depression, addiction, as well as behavioural difficulties such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Khalil supports parents in understanding and responding to the needs of their neurodivergent children, with a focus on practical strategies that promote emotional wellbeing and positive functioning.

Khalil primarily uses evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), incorporating other evidence-based interventions according to each client's individual needs. He takes a transdiagnostic approach, focusing primarily on the symptoms, difficulties, and functional impacts experienced by each individual rather than relying solely on diagnostic categories. He provides services to clients funded through Medicare, NDIS, Workers Compensation (WorkCover), and CTP schemes. His professional motivation is grounded in a strong commitment to contributing to the wellbeing of individuals, families, and the broader community.
