At HD Psychology, we work with adults, adolescents, and families, offering care that is collaborative, ethical, and tailored to each individual.
Meet Hamid, Practice Director
Hamid Reza Dadgostar is the senior psychologist and practice director at HD Psychology. He has worked in private practice in central Sydney for almost two decades, supporting adults, adolescents, and families across a wide range of clinical, personal, and legal contexts.
Hamid’s work is grounded in careful listening, clinical rigour, and a deep respect for each person’s individual circumstances. He provides psychological therapy, comprehensive assessment, and independent psychological reporting, and is known for his clear, thoughtful approach to complex presentations.
In addition to his clinical work, Hamid is an accredited supervisor and trainer of intern psychologists, supporting the development of ethical, reflective practice in the next generation of clinicians. He is registered with Medicare and relevant government and compensation authorities, and regularly undertakes assessment and reporting work where clarity, objectivity, and professional integrity are essential.
Hamid has a longstanding interest in working with culturally diverse communities and provides services in English, French, and Persian (Farsi). He has also been involved in mental health outreach and suicide prevention initiatives, including work in rural and regional communities across Australia.
Outside of his professional life, Hamid enjoys travelling and spending time on his motorcycle, often exploring different parts of Australia. This sense of curiosity and openness carries through into his clinical work, where he values thoughtful exploration, steadiness, and genuine human connection.
Our Approach
People come to us at all kinds of points in their lives, not just when things have hit a wall. Our role is to provide a calm, respectful space where concerns can be explored carefully and clearly.
We believe effective psychological care begins with psychological safety, careful listening, and collaborative engagement.
Our psychologists work in a collaborative, trauma-informed, and evidence-based way. Therapy and assessment are guided by careful clinical formulation and adapted over time as goals and circumstances evolve. We place strong emphasis on pacing, consent, and respectful engagement.
Where appropriate, we also work alongside other professionals involved in a person’s care, ensuring communication remains clear and ethical.
Areas of Practice
HD Psychology provides support across a range of clinical, personal, and legal contexts, including:
Individual psychological therapy

Each service is tailored to the individual’s needs, referral context, and goals, with clarity provided before work begins.

We prioritise:
