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 works alongside people with disability, their families, carers, and support networks to understand the meaning behind behaviour and design support that is ethical, person-centred, and effective. Using the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, practitioners conduct functional behaviour assessments, develop individualised Behaviour Support Plans, and build the capacity of everyone involved in a person's care to implement strategies with confidence and consistency. The role also includes ongoing monitoring and review, ensuring support evolves as the person does. Underpinning everything is a commitment to reducing and eliminating restrictive practices, upholding human rights, and improving quality of life — not by managing behaviour, but by understanding it.
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.”
