Why schools book me

Practical, science-backed and genuinely engaging

I’m a clinical psychologist and an ADHDer who works across the lifespan, from early learning to senior students, parents and staff.

Teachers leave with strategies they can use in their classroom the next day, and a clearer understanding of the neurodivergent students in front of them.

Questions

What schools usually ask

Always. Before the session we have a short call about your students, your staff and what’s going on. I shape the content and examples around your school, and adapt on the day to the questions in the room.

Staff PD workshops are half-day or full-day. Keynotes run from 20 to 90 minutes. Parent nights are evening sessions or parent cafés, and we can fit them to your school’s timetable.

It means starting from differences, not deficits. Neurodivergent students aren’t broken versions of everyone else. The most useful changes are usually small and practical: clearer instructions, predictable routines, movement breaks and teachers who understand what’s behind a behaviour.

Yes. I run seminars for early childhood educators on how young brains develop, responding to big behaviours and nurturing emotional growth, built for the under-fives world.

Yes. Keynotes cover a wider range of topics than my workshops, including stress and peak performance, burnout and emotional intelligence.

Yes, and they’re a great way to get school and home on the same page. Popular topics include anxiety and difficult behaviours, the move to high school, and thriving in Years 11 and 12.

Yes. I present in person and online, which works well for parent webinars and for schools outside Sydney.
