How We Can Help
CHILD AND FAMILY PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLING AND THERAPY
I offer online or in-home specialised counselling services designed to support neurodiverse children and their families. My practice is grounded in an evidence-based person-centred approach, with a strong focus on enhancing emotional wellbeing, communication, and relationships. Whether addressing everyday challenges or significant life transitions like receiving a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD, I work in close collaboration with the individual person, families and key stakeholders, including schools, to foster understanding, resilience, and meaningful connection.
NDIS POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT SERVICES
An NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner partners with people with disability, their families, carers, and support networks to uncover the meaning behind behaviour — then designs support that is ethical, person-centred, and genuinely effective.
Working within the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, practitioners carry out functional behaviour assessments, develop tailored Behaviour Support Plans, and equip everyone involved in a person's care with the skills and confidence to implement strategies consistently. The role extends beyond initial planning to include ongoing monitoring and review, so that support grows and adapts alongside the person it serves.
At the heart of this work is a deep commitment to reducing and eliminating restrictive practices, upholding human rights, and improving quality of life — not by controlling behaviour, but by understanding what it's communicating.
PARENT/CARER TRAINING
Parent and carer participation is important to me and is integral to any support program. This service is provided either in-home or remotely via Zoom. My goal is to identify strategies tailored to the individual needs of the family ensuring they can be used effectively in the natural environment using a values consistent framework.
INCLUSION ADVOCACY
I provide consultation and collaboration on school readiness for parents and carers with Autistic children and other developmental disabilities. Many parents and carers may not be familiar with the processes involved or how to advocate for their child in the school environment. Mine is a collaborative approach with all stakeholders to ensure the best possible
“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified;
or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity—
then understanding is called for.
The gentle and sensitive companionship offered by an empathic person…
provides illumination and healing.
In such situations deep understanding is, I believe,
the most precious gift one can give to another.”
