CONNECT Therapy Sessions (Currently fully booked)
Real connection. Real communication. Real-life change.
My therapy sessions are grounded in the CONNECT Framework® — a neurodiversity-affirming, family-centred approach that places connection, co-regulation and everyday life at the heart of communication support.
This isn’t about worksheets or “working harder.”
It’s about creating meaningful change through the moments that already happen every day — brushing teeth, playing in the garden, packing the school bag, or navigating transitions together.
Families often tell me they notice a shift within just a few weeks: less frustration and emotional overwhelm, more shared attention, connection and expressive communication. Over time, communication develops more quickly — not because we’re doing more, but because we’re focusing on what truly works.
What to expect
Every session is shaped by the CONNECT principles:
• Connection first
• Observe and adapt
• Natural routines
• Neurodiversity-affirming practice
• Empowered caregivers
• Communication as an outcome of regulation
• Togetherness
Sessions are typically 45 - 60 minutes and include:
• Direct support with your child through play-based, regulation-led interaction
• Reflective coaching time with you as a parent or caregiver
• Practical, real-life strategies you can use immediately at home
At the end of each session, you’ll receive Take Home Messages — clear, supportive learning points tailored to your family. These are designed to feel manageable and meaningful, helping you support your child’s communication in the moments that matter most.
Flexible therapy, designed to fit real life
Therapy is available:
• Face-to-face in a calm, welcoming clinic setting
• Online, from the comfort of your home
• Fortnightly, monthly, or ad hoc during school holidays
This is communication support that meets you where you are — without adding pressure or unrealistic demands.
If you’re looking for a collaborative, connection-first approach to communication development, I’d love to hear from you.

CONNECT Clarity Sessions (Limited Availability)
Insight. Direction. Breathing space.
Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel complex, emotional and overwhelming — especially when you’re holding lots of questions and not always sure where to turn next. CONNECT Clarity Sessions offer a calm, focused space to pause, make sense of what’s going on, and gain clear, grounded direction.
These private, online parent-only consultations are designed for moments when you need clarity rather than ongoing therapy. Together, we explore your child’s communication, regulation and emotional needs through the lens of the CONNECT Framework®, helping you understand why things may be feeling difficult and what will genuinely help.
Each session is tailored to your family and may include:
- Making sense of your child’s behaviours, communication profile and emotional responses
- Identifying what’s supporting — and what may be unintentionally getting in the way
- Practical, realistic strategies you can use immediately in everyday life
- Clear guidance around next steps, priorities and where to focus your energy
These sessions are suitable for individuals or couples and are often described by parents as a relief — a chance to feel calmer, more confident and less alone.
CONNECT Clarity Sessions are typically offered as one-off or short-term support, rather than an ongoing programme. Some families return for another session at a later point, when new questions arise or circumstances change.
This is a space to think, reflect, ask questions and leave with a clearer sense of direction — without pressure, overwhelm or unrealistic expectations.

Feedback from Parents:
“We noticed a difference after the very first session.”
“We went in expecting speech and language therapy, but what we got was so much more. It made a real difference — not just for our child, but for all of us.”
“We didn’t need weekly sessions. We needed clarity, direction and the right tools — and that’s exactly what we got.”
“Such a worthwhile investment in our family.”
