ABOUT AUTHENTIC SELF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

I am a registered Occupational Therapist  (OT) specialising in working with late-discovered autistic and/or ADHD adults. 

After a career spanning corporate, not for profit and social enterprise organisations, I retrained as an OT.  I believe in the right of every person to engage in the doing of life, in their homes, workplaces and communities, as this is how we learn, connect, become and express who we are

Since 2020 I have provided strengths-based OT support for neurodivergent adults (autistic and ADHD/VAST, with traits of) experiencing long-term,  often hidden difficulties with overwhelm, self-identity, executive functioning and relationships, that impact their capacity and wellbeing

My approach is providing an affirming, non-judgemental and compassionate space, focussing on a person's unique internal experience of their life, to build self-trust as we work together to gently build participation in the life of your choosing. 

I thrive on learning about and from my clients, staying curious  and always evolving my practice

I live in Melbourne, with my family including Rosie, the tiniest  pup.  I value time with my people, and in nature
