About Joanne
Paediatric, cognitive and mental health OT support from Joanne.
Joanne is a paediatric, cognitive and mental health Occupational Therapist based in the bayside area of Melbourne. She supports clients via telehealth, in person at Avanti Health Centre Cheltenham, and in home and community settings.
Her work is based on trauma-informed and neuro-affirming principles. Joanne works across NDIS, private and Support at Home sectors, with practice centred on intervention that builds independence, confidence and practical life skills for clients who are neurodivergent or experiencing psychosocial barriers.
Joanne works with each client’s interests and goals, using evidence-based approaches and collaborating with families, schools and care teams. She has additional qualifications in school refusal, social programs, mental health interventions, interoceptive awareness and sensory assessments, and can support functional assessments.
Joanne also brings lived experience of neurodivergence and parenting two neurodivergent children to her work.
Where Joanne fits
Flexible OT support for children, neurodivergent clients and psychosocial needs.
Joanne is a good fit when support needs to account for behaviour, sensory needs, routines, school or family context, and the setting where the client feels most able to engage.
