Meet Dr. Sarah Fischer: Principal & Organisational Psychologist

​
My Areas of Expertise:
​
High-Functioning Anxiety, Depression, & Burnout – Supporting professionals, parents, carers, and achievers who appear fine on the outside but are struggling beneath the surface.
​
Neurodivergence in Adults – Comprehensive ADHD and autism assessments using highest quality diagnostic tools, with a particular focus on later-life diagnosis and the unique presentation in women and professionals who have learned to mask.
​
Trauma & Complex PTSD – Evidence-based approaches for individuals navigating the lasting impacts of childhood trauma, workplace trauma, or relational harm.
​
Workplace Psychology – Specialised therapeutic support, fitness for work/return to work assessments, and psychosocial incident assessments for workplace matters including psychosocial incidents, bullying, harassment, and Fair Work proceedings. I also consult to organisations on how to create psychologically safe, high-performing conditions for employees.

Behavioural Edge Psychology offers comprehensive assessments for adults (18+) seeking to understand whether they may be autistic or have ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive, or combined presentation).
​
I provide accessible assessments for adults in collaboration with psychiatrists and GPs. Every assessment is neurodiversity-affirming and designed to provide both validation and direction: helping you see yourself more clearly, while also giving you and the people around you the language, evidence, and strategies needed to better support your wellbeing.
I provide expert psychological reports for workplace psychosocial incidents including bullying, harassment, work-related stress, burnout, and workplace trauma. These reports are prepared for civil, administrative, workers' compensation, or Fair Work proceedings and assist courts or tribunals in understanding the psychological impact of workplace psychosocial hazards. Reports include clinical consultations, psychological testing, review of workplace documentation, and comprehensive written findings. Standard reports start at $1,800 and complex reports from $2,600, typically completed within 2-4 weeks. Medicare rebates do not apply.
I am a WorkSafe Victoria provider and offers specialised Fitness to Work (FFW) and Return to Work (RTW) psychological assessments. These services are crucial for informing decisions in complex cases, particularly those managed under Workers' Compensation (WorkCover), Motor Vehicle Accident (CTP) claims, or for internal human resources and risk management purposes.
​
My focus is to provide the insurer, employer, or legal team with a clear, objective assessment of an individual’s psychological readiness and functional capacity to perform their job duties following an injury, illness, or period of absence safely and sustainably.
