I’m a Special Education Teacher who has diverse disability experience. I’ve worked with people with Autism and complex needs with 20 plus years teaching experience. I can be your personal teacher in your home, support you in your contexts and problem solve with you best strategies going forward! I believe that what people call “behaviour” is a person trying to communicate a problem the best way they can, Are we listening?

This is my best skill, to listen deeply to “behaviour” and look to create a way to upskill and help my people communicate, protest and say no appropriately.

I am multi-dimensional – I can work at the child/adult level to carer level and can provide whole of family support in Melbourne’s East. My ability to adapt to your need is my strongest quality – co-active collaboration with you is my plan.

I can work as a counsellor, teacher or consultant depending on your needs. I will work with you to support you to get through your everyday to build goals, routines, learning programs, resources and strategies. Your goal may just to be able to talk and be listened to…

Every session will start with what you want from it.

I have a broad, diverse range of disability experience. I’ve specialised in Autism and people with complex needs.

I’ll work with anyone that just needs personable support right now.

Happy to work with children, adults, parents and carers

Zoom sessions available.

I will re-refer you if I feel you need specialist experience.
