About Dr Amanda Mullin

How Think Differently started

In 2014, Amanda founded the multiple award winning Mindworx Psychology which she still directs.

Across thousands of clients, Amanda kept seeing the same pattern: the most capable people were often the ones quietly struggling. The manager who couldn’t switch off. The executive who couldn’t focus in a meeting. The high achiever convinced they were a fraud. They’d spent years masking, building work-arounds, and assuming it was their fault. As an ADHDer, she knew that struggle from the inside.

When those clients started asking her to speak to their teams, something clicked. Drawing on an earlier career in business, she found the work she was built for: preventative mental health – reaching people before they hit crisis, not after.

That’s Think Differently. The clinical science, minus the waiting room.

Kicking Shame to The Kerb

For too long, mental health has been shrouded in shame, stigma, and one-size-fits-all solutions that simply don’t work for everyone – especially neurodivergent minds. Much like visiting the dentist for our dental health or exercising for our physical well-being, caring for our mental health should be a non-negotiable part of our self-care routine. Even so, shame, stigma and misinformation persist.

Mental wellbeing should be as routine and shame-free going to the gym. Yet even with the best intentions, traditional approaches often fail neurodivergent individuals who’ve spent years believing something is “wrong” with them. They miss the mark in discovering the nuances of working with high functioning, intelligent grown ups who struggle with tasks that are within their expertise, or who have been told to improve their leadership or communication during a performance review.

It’s condescending and shame-inducing to suggest someone ‘just use a planner’ when the real issue is cognitive capacity.

It’s insensitive and shows a fundamental misunderstanding to recommend anger management courses for a high-performing AuDHD employee when they may be unaware they are struggling with alexithymia – difficulty identifying and expressing emotions.

These well-meaning but misguided ‘solutions’ are particularly insulting to intelligent professionals who’ve already tried every productivity hack and communication course available. It’s often the ‘high functioning’ who are masters at concealing struggles and finding compensations and work-arounds – they don’t need basic advice, they need understanding and strategies that actually match their neurotype.

The reality is that neurodivergent minds need different strategies to flourish. To create inclusion and belonging, everyone on the team needs to understand how to support and communicate effectively with different neurotypes. It’s not enough to help individuals; we need to educate entire teams and organisations so everyone can thrive together.

Build the strategies around the brain – not the brain around the strategies – and not only for the individual, but for the whole team around them.

Off the clock

When she’s not on stage, delivering a workshop, or working with her team of Psychologists in Sydney’s Hills District to bring change, Amanda juggles being a mother, wife, and cancer survivor with playing football.

Her presentations travel with a flock of rubber ducks (there’s a story – ask her). And she swears some of her best thinking happens walking Baxter, the family’s slightly mad dog.
