Rhiannon Sund
Rhiannon is a registered psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults across therapy, comprehensive psychological assessment and sport & performance psychology.
She believes therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical, stiff, or like you’re simply “sitting on a couch talking about your week.” While she values evidence-based practice, she is equally interested in creativity, environment, movement and finding approaches that genuinely fit the person in front of her.
Rhiannon provides ADHD assessments, autism assessments, cognitive assessments (including WISC and WAIS), and learning assessments. She enjoys helping clients understand how their brain works — not just whether they “meet criteria.” Her assessment process is strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming and designed to leave people feeling clearer, empowered and understood.
In therapy, she works with a broad range of presentations, including (but not limited to) anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, burnout, adjustment challenges, identity exploration and neurodivergent experiences. She draws from EMDR, CBT, ACT, positive psychology and performance psychology, tailoring support to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
With additional training in Professional Psychology and Sport & Exercise Performance, Rhiannon also works with athletes, performers and high achievers to strengthen confidence, focus, emotional regulation and mental resilience — whether that’s in sport, school, work or everyday life.
Her academic interests reflect her curiosity about the bigger picture of wellbeing. She has conducted research in surf therapy and epigenetics, studied cross-cultural anthropology in Peru, and completed scholarship research in positive psychology in the Netherlands. She remains fascinated by how culture, biology, environment and lifestyle intersect with mental health.
