It's my pleasure and my life's work to support children, teens and young adults with mental health and disability support. I work from a beautiful 80 acre farm in Fernleigh, NSW (20 minutes from Ballina, Lismore, Bangalow). Our sessions can take place outside on the farm- exploring the creek, sitting under trees, or spending time with our gentle rescues brumby horses or registered therapy dog, Birdie, or, our office. I am very experienced in supporting NDIS clients, and offer medicare rebates. The most important part of my work is building a relationship with your child where they feel trusted, cared for, and respected.
I focus on paediatric neurodevelopment conditions, with a special focus on Autism/PDA, ADHD, and other neurotypes. I enjoy having a neurodiversity-affirming (NDA) approach- supporting the strengths and uniqueness of human brains, and working against stigma and pathologising. I finished my psychology training in 2012, & Clinical Psychology training in 2024.
I am a good match for your child or teen if they are resistant to therapy, have behavioural problems at school or home, find it difficult to communicate their emotions, struggle with regulating their emotions, or feel lonely or isolated. If they are a nature or animal lover, that's a plus! I offer diagnoses, letters, and reports as needed.

I prioritise safety within the therapist-client relationship, first focusing on building trust with children/teens. We work mostly outdoors, alongside animals- incorporating mindfulness, nature, and animal-basted therapy into our sessions. My approach is client-led, with a large focus on relationship, communication, learning about the nervous system, and building confidence.

For disability support (Autism, ADHD, ID), I use modified, neurodivergent-affirming approaches, tailored to the needs of the child/teen. For mental health support, I primarily utilise Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based Therapy. I incorporate these therapies into nature and animal-based therapy to make them more engaging.
