Educational and behavioural therapy

My psychotherapy counselling clinic provides in-person services in Brighton, Victoria, and telehealth services across other states and internationally. As a registered provider with NDIS (GEGC8AV) and WorkSafe (CL40A), I have dedicated 25 years to offering inclusive, affirming counselling and psychotherapy. My practice is rooted in person-centred values, creating a therapeutic space of respect, validation, and empowerment for every client.

With a Master’s in Education (Special Education Needs), I am committed to supporting diverse individuals with a range of learning differences and neurodivergent experiences. This includes those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, organisational skills challenges, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

I provide home and school visits to ensure accessibility and equity, making therapy available in safe and familiar environments. Rather than encouraging individuals to fit into traditional therapy models, I honour and support diverse ways of experiencing and engaging with the world, fostering growth, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

Behavioural Therapy in Brighton

Individuals with executive dysfunction usually struggle with self-control, time management, planning, organisation, task beginning (they procrastinate), working memory (they frequently forget things), persistence (they lack motivation), and other higher-order cognitive domains.

Special Educational Therapists support adults and children with behavioural issues and learning disabilities by:

  • Identifying different behaviours that are the root of their learning difficulties and thinking.
  • Support adult or child learning with strategies to improve their focus, inattentive behaviour, and other behaviours.
  • Provide a safe place to talk about their learning and anxiety that may impact them socially.
  • Assess and plan for behavioural and learning disabilities, provide Individual Educational (Learning) Plans.
