Dr James Shelly is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist. He has extensive experience conducting neuro-developmental assessments (ADHD, ASD) as well as treating other common mental health difficulties and disorders in children and young people.

James has a relaxed interpersonal style which provides for feelings of safety and containment, and he takes a holistic and systemic approach to mental health treatment and support.

His main areas of interest are neuro-developmental assessment, treatment of anxiety and depression, and psychotherapy for children and adults with anxiety disorders.

James is currently taking new referrals for ASD and ADHD assessments for those under the age of 25.

Please note that due to extensive wait times, we are currently pausing new referrals to Dr Shelly. We will review this in February 2026. Thank you for your understanding.
