Meet Georgia

I am a neurodivergent speech pathologist and counsellor all of my beliefs around holistic supports are from my own lived experiences as a neurodivergent woman. I believe that people are the experts in their own lives and that the people who come to see me make equal contribution to the therepeautic relationship. We always have something to learn and I am grateful to be living on beautiful country where learning opportunities are endless!

I have a Bachelors degree in Speech Pathology and a Masters in Narrative Therapy and Community work and I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association. I also contribute to adult Autism Assessments using the MIGDAS framework. I am passionate about incorporating Narrative Therapy principles into my Speech Pathology work.

I have received additional training in the following approaches - Responsive Feeding House Model, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Talking Mats, Gestalt Language Processing and the Natural Language Acquisition framework, AAC and Key Word Sign. I also hold a Graduate Certificate in the diagnosis and assessment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

I recognise the privileged position I hold working in Mparntwe and prioritise cultural learning through supervision with local Elders and cultural people.

In my free time I spend a lot of time with my birds - my  cockatiel - Chickpea and budgie - Joey at home. They are my long time special interest!
