I am naturally curious about people, why they do what they do, and what genuinely helps someone create meaningful change. That curiosity, combined with a real care for people, is a big part of what I bring into my work.

I work with clients across a broad age range, although many of the people I currently support are young adults. A large part of my work is with people with ASD, across a wide range of presentations and support needs. I am also particularly interested in complex mental health, including presentations such as ADHD, PTSD and schizophrenia.

Before becoming a Behaviour Support Practitioner, I worked in disability support, where I supported people with complex mental health presentations and disabilities. That experience gave me a strong foundation in working with a wide range of support needs and helped shape the calm, grounded and practical approach I bring to my role now.

At the heart of my approach is connection. I believe that before real progress can happen, a person needs to feel safe, understood and genuinely met where they are. I place a strong focus on identifying each person’s strengths, interests and natural abilities early, as this helps build rapport, confidence and trust.

I work in a strengths-based, practical and highly individualised way. Rather than coming in with a rigid agenda, I prefer to meet the person on their terms and work from there. I also place strong value on working closely with families and support teams, because meaningful change often happens when the people around the client become more confident and consistent in how they respond.
