SGR Occupational Therapy Services
Public Speaking and Training
I am available for speaking and training events both in person and online. I specialise in neurodivergent affirming practice, supporting people who experience pathological demand avoidance, trauma and mental health. I use a combination of my lived experience, clinical training and research experience to increase awareness of neurodivergent affirming supports and the neurodiversity movement.
Specialised Occupation Based Parent Coaching
I find this method of service delivery to be very popular and allows for long term, sustainable change and results! I specialise in supporting parents of neurodivergent children. Parent coaching is designed to give parents and carers the skills they need to assist their child to develop their skills using everyday routines. In parent coaching we can assist with all areas of development including behaviour management, emotional regulation and sensory regulation. Parent coaching also aims to take all families members needs into account and manage the families’ needs as a whole. This service is offered online.
In this modality I am able to conduct initial assessments and sensory assessments to support and advocate for the needs of your child across all environments.
Neurodivergent Adult Occupational Therapy
Are you a neurodivergent adult looking for an affirming practitioner to help you unmask and advocate for yourself? Are you wanting to discover your true self and how you can embrace all that you are? This is what I am passionate about after going on my own journey of unmasking and unlearning! I also offer some functional and sensory assessments.
Professional Occupational Therapy Supervision
I offer professional supervision to occupational therapists, new graduates, OTA’s and OT students, this has been a passion of mine and has been part of my career for the last 7 years. These sessions are offered online and are available Australia wide!
Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy can assist in building children’s capacity in all areas of life that they find meaningful! I specialise in supporting neurodivergent children using an affirming, gentle and trauma informed approach. Please note: I am not currently taking on new face to face clients at this time. Please consider online parent/teacher/carer support if you would like to work with me.
As a neurodivergent affirming and trauma informed occupational therapist, I am passionate about providing family centered care to ensure best outcomes for all those I work with. I have experience working with a range of children and adults, as well as their families, with many different presentations and support needs. As a neurodivergent person and mother of an autistic child, I am deeply committed to advocating for the voice of neurodivergent people and increasing awareness and support. I like to use the individuals’ interests and strengths in a neurodivergent affirming way to help them develop to their fullest potential. I am currently offering telehealth sessions and specialised occupation based parent coaching to assist parents to incorporate intervention into their daily routines. Occupation based coaching is a style of therapy that aims to build the self efficacy of the whole family and allow for intervention to be woven into daily life.
