Overview
Exceptionally You offers neuroaffirming therapeutic support for children, young people and their families.
I'm Kerrie Johnston, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a passion for creating spaces where people feel safe to be themselves, explore their experiences and discover what works for them.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based and grounded in the belief that you don't need fixing to deserve understanding.
I work with autistic and ADHD children and young people, as well as those navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity, relationships and life's challenges. I also support parents and carers seeking a deeper understanding of their child's experiences and needs.
Alongside individual counselling, I offer Exceptionally Creative, which brings therapeutic gaming, including Minecraft, into the therapy space. Gaming can provide a different way to connect, communicate and explore experiences, particularly for young people who find traditional talk-based approaches challenging.
Sessions are available in person in Shepparton and via telehealth.
