I hold a Diploma of Counselling (Child Development, Family Therapy & Effective Parenting), a Diploma of Early Childhood Education, and specialist training in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) Level 1. I am a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

Professionally, I’ve spent over 15 years working across:
• early childhood education & teaching
• child development and behaviour
• trauma-informed practice
• child protection & safety
• family support
• complex mental health presentations
• neurodevelopmental assessment pathways (ADHD, ASD, PDA)
• multidisciplinary teams in paediatrics, psychology, OT & speech

But here’s the truth:
What shapes my work just as much — if not more — is my lived experience.

I’m a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman, a trauma survivor, and a mum of two big-feeling neurodivergent kids.

I know what it’s like to sit on both sides of this work:
✔ to be confused by your child’s behaviour
✔ to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or misunderstood
✔ to fight for support in schools and systems
✔ to wonder if you’re failing
✔ to feel things deeply, intensely, all at once
✔ to try to do things differently than you were taught
✔ to navigate life without a map

This lived experience is what allows me to bridge therapy, home life, parenting, neurodiversity, and the education system in a way that feels grounded, real, and genuinely supportive.

I don’t just analyse what’s happening —
I understand it. I’ve lived it. And I sit in it with you, not above you

I support adults, teens, and children (generally 3+), as well as parents and families. For younger children, I often work with parents first using relational and DDP-informed approaches.

Yes — I offer telehealth sessions Australia-wide, as well as in-person and outreach sessions in Sunbury, the Macedon Ranges, and surrounding areas.

Yes, I work with Self-Managed and Plan-Managed NDIS participants. NDIS funding can be used for therapy sessions, parent sessions, school/kinder observations, care team meetings, reports, goal translation, and advocacy support.

Unfortunately, counsellors in Australia are not currently eligible for Medicare rebates including, utilising Mental Health Care Plans. To support accessibility, I offer a reduced, accessible rate for anyone who needs it — no questions asked, no eligibility criteria.

It’s a reduced fee available to any client who needs more affordable support. You can request it at any time — privately and without explanation.
Everyone deserves access to care. Simply select ‘Accessible’ rate when booking online.

It’s a warm, conversational space focused on understanding you, your story, and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to share anything before you feel ready. We start at your pace.

Most therapy sessions run for 50–60 minutes, with longer sessions available for NDIS reviews, school meetings, or report-based work.

Yes. Attuned is a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice, welcoming people of all identities, cultures, and neurotypes.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work in Sunbury.

While my work is grounded in lived experience of trauma, neurodivergence, and parenting, I recognise that every person’s story is unique. I will never assume to have walked in your shoes — only to meet you with respect, curiosity, and genuine care.

This is a space where your whole self is welcome.

No. Most people come to Attuned before they have clarity. You’re welcome whether you’re exploring neurodivergence as a possibility, looking for post-diagnostic support, navigating emotional or behavioural concerns, healing trauma, or simply wanting a compassionate space to talk.

I do not provide formal diagnostic assessments.
However, I have extensive experience working alongside psychologists, paediatricians, OTs, and speech pathologists in ADHD and ASD assessment pathways.

I can support you or your child to:
• gently explore neurodiversity
• understand traits, patterns, and strengths
• decide whether an assessment may help & with the referral process
• prepare for assessments
• interpret results afterward
• access early intervention
• understand what the diagnosis actually means in real life
• feel seen and supported throughout the process

Diagnosis or not, your experience matters — and we work with the whole picture.

Yes — this is a core part of my service.
I can attend:
• school/kinder meetings
• SSGs & IEPs
• care team meetings
• transition planning
• educator coaching sessions

I also provide written recommendations, reports, and advocacy to help ensure your child is understood and supported.

Yes — I provide therapy summaries, NDIS review letters, school recommendations, behavioural insights, and accommodation suggestions where appropriate.
