Meet Nicole

Nicole is a Paediatric Occupational Therapist with over 27 years of experience supporting children and families build everyday skills that matter most to them.

She works part-time in community health alongside a small private practice, with a special focus on the early years. Nicole believes the best outcomes happen when therapy fits naturally into a child's world — at home, kinder or school — when families are active partners every step of the way.

Nicole uses a neurodivergent affirming, strengths-based approach. She identifies each child's strengths and builds from there. Her goal is for every child to feel secure, confident, and valued — and for families to feel empowered to support their child.

She values collaborating with educators and other professionals, because she knows children thrive when everyone around them is working together, towards common goals.
