About Us
Enriching Lives & Mental Wellbeing for Nearly 20 Years
Sure Psychology was founded in January 2015 by Dr Simone Shaw who has been a fully registered Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist since March 2008. In this capacity, she worked within private practice delivering clinical and neuropsychological assessment and intervention services to adult populations. Prior to this, Dr Shaw was a provisionally registered Psychologist and worked within various Queensland government agencies delivering clinical treatment and neuropsychological assessment services to children, adolescent, adult and geriatric populations. Throughout her 18 years of clinical practice, Dr Shaw has provided cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, clinical hypnosis and motivational interviewing to clients with a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Sure Psychology services have increased in demand since relocating to the Sunshine Coast in 2017 and we have expanded our team to include additional practitioners.
Comprehensive Psychological Services
for Your Every Need
Whatever brings you here, we’re ready to help. Whether you’re seeking answers through assessment, support for your mental health, guidance for your workplace, or expert clinical supervision, our team is here to listen, understand, and provide the care you need to move forward with confidence.
Treatment Services
Our experienced and professional clinicians provide psychological treatment to adolescent, adult and geriatric populations. Our therapeutic approaches have included the provision of cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal therapy, clinical hypnosis and motivational interviewing. We adopt a flexible and practical approach to therapy in order to assist clients to learn effective skills and techniques to manage their self-reported areas of difficulty.
Psychological and Neuropsychological Assessment Services
We specialise in conducting comprehensive clinical psychological and neuropsychological medico-legal assessments for organisations. We also provide assessments across the lifespan including assessments of children, adolescents, adults and geriatrics to provide individuals and families with accurate diagnosis in order to assist with improved prognosis, treatment and recovery.
Workplace Stress Management
In our fast faced and ever changing society, it is inevitable that at some stage in our life, we will experience work related stress; which can be due to challenges with managing our home and work commitments, or due to organisational factors such as changes to key performance indicators, organisational restructures or dealing with interpersonal conflict within the workplace. Work related stress can become overwhelming and distressing for all individuals concerned. We spend a significant amount of time at work, so it is important to foster a work environment that is positive and rewarding and one where we feel respected and able to make valuable contributions. Our clinicians have significant experience both personally and professionally in dealing with work related stress and can provide practical strategies to assist you in finding peace at work.
Keynote Speaking Opportunities
Looking to inspire, educate, or spark meaningful change at your next event? Our keynote speaking services offer engaging, evidence-based presentations tailored to a wide range of audiences, including corporate teams, healthcare professionals, schools, and community organisations. Led by experienced psychologists, our keynotes cover topics such as mental health and well-being, resilience, workplace stress, and navigating change. Each talk is thoughtfully designed to connect with your audience, provide practical takeaways, and encourage positive action. Whether you're hosting a conference, professional development session, or community event, we bring energy, expertise, and insight to every stage. Book a speaker today to empower your audience with knowledge that makes a difference.
Clinical Supervision
Our Founder Dr Simone Shaw completed her Supervisor Training and Approval Program (STAP) in 2009 and has provided clinical supervision to over 50 provisionally and fully registered psychologists since then. Within supervision, Dr Simone adopts a collaborative, supportive, and teaching role. She promotes an environment of mutual respect and an understanding that learning is a process not an end point. Simone ensures that her supervisees are clear on their expectations for supervision and that a culture of open feedback is adopted in order for supervision to work effectively.
Positive Behaviour Support Services
Sure Psychology provides compassionate, evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services to help individuals, families, and providers create meaningful and lasting behaviour change. We work with children, adolescents, and adults with disability or support needs, using functional assessments to understand behaviours and develop personalised, strengths-focused plans. Our team offers practical strategies, skill-building, and ongoing support to improve quality of life, enhance independence, and strengthen daily routines. We collaborate closely with families, carers, and providers to ensure support is consistent, effective, and aligned with NDIS best-practice guidelines. Our goal is to help each person thrive with confidence, safety, and dignity.
