I especially enjoy supporting the families who have tried everything else and simply want someone to understand their child rather than try to change them.

We run therapy groups in bushland, parks and other natural environments because that's where many children feel safest to take risks, connect with others and develop the skills that matter most in everyday life. We also run groups like Dungeons & Dragons, using role-play to help children build friendships, confidence and social skills in a fun and engaging way.

They're fundamental to health and wellbeing, and I'm passionate about helping shape systems that recognise that too.

I'd happily spend an hour talking about why so many kids are struggling, how we can build communities where they genuinely belong, and why prevention is so much better than waiting until families reach crisis point. Although there's a good chance we'd also end up talking about leadership, books or where to find a great coffee.

If I'm not running Mum's taxi service for my two teenagers and their various sporting and social commitments, you'll probably find me walking along a beach with a coffee and a book in hand, exploring somewhere outdoors with my family or fitting in a gym session. Being in nature is where I recharge.
