Hi, I’m Kerrie.

I am neurodivergent, and the parent of four neurodivergent young people. I’m also an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families navigating trauma, complexity, and neurodivergence.

Over time, my work has increasingly focused on creating spaces where people can slow down, reflect on their experiences, and begin to understand themselves more clearly. I believe therapy can happen in many ways, and I enjoy finding approaches that fit how people naturally think, communicate, connect, and learn.

Much of my work is with neurodivergent people and families, and I approach this work from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and lived experience perspective.

I am particularly interested in the ways people learn to adapt to environments that don’t always recognise difference, and how years of masking, compensating, holding things together, or trying to meet expectations can shape the way we understand ourselves.

Many people spend years adapting themselves to fit environments that were never designed with them in mind. I don’t believe therapy should ask people to do more of the same. Instead, I believe therapy should adapt to the person, not the other way around.

For some people, that might look like conversation. For others, it might involve creativity, storytelling, shared experiences, play, or other approaches that feel more natural and accessible. Together, we work to find approaches that support meaningful change while respecting the person sitting in front of us.

Outside of work, I enjoy quiet time, reading, gaming, and spending time in nature. These interests help keep me grounded and connected to the curiosity, creativity, and reflection that shape the way I approach this work.

I am based in the Shepparton region. I offer limited in-person sessions in Shepparton, and Telehealth services across Australia.
