Consulting Services
Consultation is a knowledge sharing process where advice or input is sought on a specific topic.
Consultations are available for any discipline or service on matters relating to chronic illness, sensory processing, mental health or other neurodivergence.
Please let me know about any access or support needs via email or when you book. Frequency and length of sessions can be adjusted based on your needs.
Why work with me?
I bring a unique perspective to this work, being both a qualified health professional and a person with lived experience of chronic illness and neurodivergence.
I am non-judgemental, compassionate and supportive, and understand the complexity of living with and managing multiple conditions while also trying to engage in the things you enjoy and earn a living!
I am truly passionate about supporting other people to improve their wellbeing and live meaningful lives, while also holding space for the tough stuff that comes up.
My approaches & areas of interest
Strengths-based, person-centred, recovery oriented, neurodivergence-affirming and trauma-informed practice with a focus on:
Lived-experience informed supervision and mentoring
Identity exploration and neurodivergence, building self-understanding and self-advocacy
Exploring values, goals, interests, habits, roles and routines
Supporting sensory modulation, emotion regulation and executive functioning
Nature connection, different kinds of rest, mindfulness and self-compassion
Building a life worth living through engagement in meaningful occupations (occupation being any way you spend your time)
Chronic illness self-management and building self-efficacy, including the complex intersectionality of neurodivergence and chronic illness.
My Core Values
community · collaboration · connection
My Qualifications & Experience
In addition to lived experience of neurodivergence and chronic illness, I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a graduate Masters of Occupational Therapy. I was a disability support worker for many years before becoming an occupational therapist. I have also facilitated peer support groups, provided mentoring and supervision to disability support workers and other health professionals, and worked as a DBT Coach, DBT skills teacher and care coordinator in a residential mental health setting.
I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Mental Health and Addictions and am a lover of lifelong learning and do lots of continuing professional development and reading in the areas of chronic illness and pain management, sensory processing, neurodivergence and neurodiversity affirming practice, ACT, recovery approaches, trauma, nervous system regulation and somatics. I have recently completed training in supervision and am looking forward to using my OT skills in a different way and following my passion in supporting other health professionals.
