Cristina Wildt is a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). She holds a Diploma in Counselling, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and is currently completing a postgraduate specialisation in ADHD under the guidance of psychiatrist Dr. Luis Augusto Rohde, a leading international authority in the field.

Cristina’s professional journey combines specialised training with a wide range of life experiences. After a corporate career, she transitioned into the mental health field, driven by a lifelong passion for emotional wellbeing and human growth. Her background also includes a Law degree from Brazil, which gives her a deeper understanding of human behaviour, resilience, and life’s complex challenges.

Over the years, Cristina has worked as a crisis counsellor, supporting individuals through major life transitions, grief, loss, and emotional turbulence. With a particular interest in cross-cultural adjustment and migration-related challenges, she helps clients navigate the profound emotional impact of relocation, offering a safe space to reconnect with inner stability and personal resources.

Her clinical focus includes:

• Adult ADHD and its impact on education, career, and relationships
• Mood and anxiety-related challenges
• Identity development and self-acceptance

Cristina is especially passionate about working with adults who reached later stages of life without an earlier ADHD diagnosis or adequate support. Many of her clients arrive with a fragmented sense of self, internalised shame, and a lingering feeling of being “different.” Her work begins by welcoming their struggles and creating space to process the grief for the person they wished they could have been if support had come earlier. From there, she guides clients to identify hidden strengths, talents, and personal qualities that were often overshadowed by negative labels. This process helps clients rebuild a cohesive sense of identity, grounded in clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance. By integrating insights from neuroscience and neuroplasticity, Cristina helps clients make sense of their inner world, recognise their capacities, and move toward a life of greater contentment, better equipped to face challenges.
