I believe every child deserves an opportunity to feel heard and supported. I am passionate about supporting children, parents and caregivers through different challenges in life to support their growth and well-being.
I have a particular interest in working with children of all ages with neurodevelopmental differences, such as intellectual disabilities, Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I also have a special interest in working with children who have experienced psychological trauma and children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. I like to work in collaboration with children, parents, educators and health professionals to support each child’s needs. I tailor my work for different stages of development and individual needs while utilising individual strengths. In my therapeutic work I deliver Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), among other therapeutic approaches. I like to create an environment where you can openly express yourself and work with me towards different goals. I recognise there are challenges and setbacks in life, many which our out of our control. I hope to support you to navigate and manage these difficulties and to equip you with the skills and knowledge to promote a bright future. Professional Highlights and Memberships:
