Dr. Liz Giles

Liz is an experienced clinician with a strong scientific and medical background. She holds a Masters in Experimental Psychology from Cambridge University and, after qualifying as a medical doctor, specialised in Ophthalmology. She now specialises in nutrition for neurodiversity, working with both adults and children. Liz is based in Cairns, North East Australia, and provides video consultations worldwide via our secure telehealth system.

Her keen interest in brain development led her to undertake further training in practical approaches to supporting neurodevelopment. She graduated with distinction from the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and also qualified with the Institute of Neurophysiological Psychology in Chester. Liz has completed the Psychiatry Redefined one-year General Fellowship with Dr James Greenblatt and is currently undertaking their Paediatric Fellowship. She is a Lifecode GX Nutrigenomics Practitioner and uses genetic testing as an integral part of her practice.

Liz sees children with complex presentations, including genetically acquired conditions. She specialises in supporting neurodivergent children, including those with autism (both high functioning and high needs), ADHD and sensory processing differences, and those with speech and language delay. She sees children and teens with mast cell activation, fibromyalgia, PoTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility, PANS/PANDAS and chronic fatigue. Her aim is to help each child achieve their full potential. With her ophthalmology hat on, she also sees children and teenagers with rare eye diseases.

Liz is registered with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), which may be helpful for clients in Australia.
