Hi, I’m April! I’m passionate about helping children feel understood, supported and confident in who they are. I believe wholeheartedly that being different is not a deficit and that neurodiversity should be celebrated! I hold a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Human Services.
My approach is warm, playful and child-centred. I believe children communicate in many different ways, and that some of the most meaningful conversations can happen through play, creativity and curiosity. I have experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as children navigating life with ADHD. I’m passionate about neurodiversity-affirming practice that recognises each child’s unique strengths and way of experiencing the world.
My intention is to create a safe and accepting space where children can be themselves, build skills and discover what helps them thrive.
Outside of the counselling room, I’m a huge animal lover and a creative person who loves getting crafty! I enjoy good coffee, long beach walks, spending time with my family, fishing and exploring the outdoors. Life can feel like a lot sometimes, and I hope to help kids discover that they don’t have to change who they are to be worthy, valued and accepted. Sometimes, learning to understand and accept ourselves just as we are can be one of the most meaningful journeys of all.
