Hi, I’m Akaash Kumar.
Registered Psychologist | Founder, Iyashi Psychology
BPsySc, GDipPsych, JD, GDLP
I'm a registered psychologist with a genuine passion for helping people understand themselves more deeply — and discover what becomes possible when they do.
At the heart of my work is a simple but powerful belief: that every person carries strengths worth uncovering. Whether I'm conducting a comprehensive assessment or sitting with someone in therapy, my approach is always the same — curious, warm, and deeply committed to drawing out what's already there rather than focusing solely on what's hard.
About Akaash
Akaash works across both assessment and therapy, and finds real meaning in both. He has significant experience and training in assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), cognitive functioning, and sensory processing — areas he cares deeply about because he's seen firsthand how much clarity a thorough, well-held assessment can give someone. Understanding how your mind works isn't just information. It opens doors.
In his therapeutic work, Akaash draws on a strengths-based, client-centred, and culturally sensitive approach — shaped by both professional training and lived experience. He understands what it means to navigate the world between cultures, and brings that understanding into the room with every client. People who work with Akaash often describe feeling genuinely heard — not managed, not categorised, but truly seen.
Before founding Iyashi Psychology, Akaash built his clinical experience across community, disability, and complex care settings — working with some of the most vulnerable and underserved people in our community. It was that work that showed him the gap he wanted to fill: a practice where quality psychological care is delivered with the kind of humanity and cultural responsiveness that too many people have never had access to.
Akaash works with children, adolescents, and adults across the full lifespan, and is committed to ensuring that every person who comes to Iyashi Psychology feels that this space was made for them.
