Napoleon Forde

Provisional Psychologist

About Napoleon

Napoleon is a Provisional Psychologist supporting adults and adolescents (16+) with evidence-based, goal-directed therapy. He works collaboratively with clients in an open, non-judgmental, and curious space, in the belief that meaningful progress comes from therapy tailored to each person's values, motivations, and individual experience.

Napoleon has a particular interest in ADHD assessment and psychoeducation, providing comprehensive ADHD reports alongside practical, day-to-day strategies for managing attention, organisation, and emotional regulation. His approach helps clients understand their unique ADHD profile and build sustainable tools to navigate work, study, and relationships more effectively.

For clients experiencing sleep difficulties, Napoleon offers Brief Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, a structured, short-term, evidence-based treatment designed to improve sleep quality and address the behavioural patterns that maintain insomnia.

Alongside symptom relief, Napoleon places a strong emphasis on helping clients reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose, particularly during periods of significant change, loss, or adjustment. This focus can be especially valuable for clients navigating life transitions, adjusting to a chronic illness diagnosis, or working through sudden stressors, where reconnecting with personal values can provide a clearer sense of direction and motivation for change.
