Professional Experience

She pursued her PhD at the University of Sydney, focusing on neurodevelopmental conditions and their impact on executive functioning in children.

Personal Approach

I possess extensive expertise in both assessment and intervention for children facing a variety of behavioural challenges and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, ADHD, specific learning disorders, selective mutism, intellectual disability, anxiety, and complex trauma. I am versed in a range of therapeutic techniques, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), parent behaviour programs, anxiety management for children, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) adapted for children and families, social skills enhancement, emotional regulation support, and emotion-focused approaches. Additionally, I’m skilled in developing and implementing behaviour support programs tailored to children with disabilities and neurodevelopmental conditions.

I am committed to integrating scientific research with clinical expertise, striving to improve the lives of children and their families through specialised, evidence-based care.
