Hi, I am Sinéad and have been an Occupational Therapist for over 12 years.
I am originally from New Zealand, where I completed my training before moving to the UK. Where I spent eight years working across rehabilitation and community settings before eventually making the move to Australia.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, dancing and spending time on, in or near the water. Though I’m equally happy getting lost in a craft project while watching reality TV. Since moving to Australia, I’ve also loved exploring the country and seeing all of its amazing wildlife.
What I love about being an OT is how practical it is. I enjoy helping people take charge of their everyday lives and working together on the small wins that, over time, can turn into big wins that might have felt completely out of reach when we started. I want to understand what’s getting in the way, why it matters to you and what you’d like to have more control over. The best part of my job is when people don’t need me anymore.
I enjoy capacity building and cognitive rehabilitation and have completed additional training in this area. During my time in the UK, I was involved in cancer rehabilitation projects and presented our findings at conferences, so I can be a bit of an OT nerd. Working in cancer rehabilitation really highlighted how much less visible challenges, such as fatigue and brain fog, can impact everyday life.
Ever since learning about sensory processing at uni, it has fascinated me. Understanding your sensory profile can help make sense of why certain environments or everyday activities leave you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, especially when you’ve spent your life not knowing any different. I enjoy helping people recognise these patterns and find practical ways to manage sensory load, engage in everyday life and reduce that cycle of pushing through, crashing and recovering.
I’m the older sister of a neurodivergent sibling and saw the challenges they experienced trying to navigate the school system in the 90s and 00s, and the long term impact this had on their confidence and self-esteem. I’ve also supported friends, family and clients through later-in-life ADHD diagnoses and understand some of the grief, relief and processing that can come with finally understanding why some things have always felt harder
The world isn’t black and white, and I want to help you understand the different colours so you can find what works for you.

I'm a queer AuDHD Occupational Therapist with experience working across rehabilitation, mental health and paediatrics. I love working alongside neurodivergent people to better understand themselves and build lives that work with their brains—not against them.
I'm particularly interested in sensory processing, interoception, autistic and ADHD burnout, and understanding how our brain, body and environment all influence the way we experience everyday life. One of my favourite parts of being an OT is helping people connect the dots between experiences that may have felt confusing or overwhelming and discovering practical strategies that genuinely fit who they are.
I'm endlessly curious about people and believe the best therapy comes from listening, learning and working together. I value creating a space where people feel safe to ask questions, explore their strengths and leave sessions with a better understanding of themselves, practical strategies, and confidence in what comes next.
Outside of work, I love travelling, reading, gaming, playing guitar, listening to music, musical theatre and spending time with my two dogs.

Hi, I'm Janay! I am an autistic speech pathologist with 6 years of experience working in the community.
I deeply resonate with the neurodiversity-affirming lens and person-centred practices, which guide both my work and personal life. In a world that often feels fast paced and unpredictable, I enjoy helping people find their place and celebrate their authentic selves. Everyone's communication style is unique, so I am here to support you and your community to understand that. I am in your corner to support your autonomy, wellbeing, and happiness.
Outside of work I really enjoy crafting, board games, being by the water, and taking my Groodle, Marcel, on adventures.

With over 25 years of frontline experience supporting people with disabilities, I’ve helped individuals build life skills, understand behaviours, engage in their communities, and navigate life transitions—always with the goal of promoting independence and wellbeing. My professional focus has grown to include building and managing not-for-profit organisations, ensuring they meet industry standards through strong governance, policy, and quality frameworks.
Now pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy, I’m drawn to its creativity, flexibility, and person-centred approach. OT allows me to tailor solutions to individual needs, stay engaged in the evolving human services field, and continue supporting people of all ages—whose resilience and uniqueness continue to inspire me.
Outside of work, I enjoy a coastal lifestyle—fishing, beach walks with my dog, and the occasional karaoke session. I love live music, themed celebrations, and balancing intense work with moments of rest, reflection, and joy.

Royce is an Occupational Therapist, Mental Health Clinician who grew up on Darkinjung Country (NSW) and brings a holistic, culturally grounded approach to therapy. With experience across child and youth trauma, adult mental health, and community practice, he integrates kinship, connection, and creativity into his work.
Holding a Master’s in Psychosexual Therapy, Royce supports clients to build healthy relationships and wellbeing across all areas of life, including the fundamental aspect of intimacy, within our relationships to others and with ourselves. Developing a healthy connection to the sensory/sensual experience of the body can serve as a stable foundation to optimal health and vitality.
Royce has worked with neurodivergent populations since the start of 2023 and really enjoys it, as it is more conducive to his own quirky, atypical personality and way-of-being in the world. Royce is also a qi-gong (chi-gong) teacher and utilises this somatic mindfulness practice in therapy if necessary.
Outside of therapy, Royce is a very creative person, as he is an aspiring musician - music producer, DJ, guitarist & vocalist. He enjoys being creative. Royce believes developing a healthy connection to creative energy can optimally support one's mental well-being. Royce is spiritually inclined and prioritises self-care through meditation, yoga & qi-gong, and exploring the natural world through hiking. Valuing balance and authenticity in all he does, he also enjoys a good laugh, as both humour and humility can offer a lot to someone's well-being.
