Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m a child and family therapist and educator working alongside my son Brent, at SLCN. I come to therapy through my love of working with children. I am a primary school teacher with 19 years’ experience. I have taught in Government and Catholic Schools in Victoria and I also had a 2 year stint teaching Elementary School in North Carolina, USA. I have mostly worked in schools in multicultural and low socio-economic communities. I have a huge variety of experience teaching children of all levels of primary school. As well as classroom teaching, I have also taught Art, Information Technology, Kitchen Garden, Science Technology Engineering and Maths, and intervention programs in Literacy and Numeracy. I have always had an interest in how children develop, and I am passionate about working with children who have difficulty communicating. When I was given the opportunity to move into the allied health field and work as an AHA with Brent, I jumped at it! I love being able to see children make progress in their speech and language skills under Brent’s guidance. My aim is to make therapy fun for the children I work with, as well as providing support and guidance to families. I enjoy children’s different personalities as well as watching and supporting them to learn and flourish. Everything I do is centered around the personal needs of each child and family, and their individual play and learning styles. At SLCN, I work with children targeting communication, social, emotional and educational needs, as well as support parents. I also lead programs for older primary aged children and teens who would like to improve their social interaction and communication skills. I am passionate about therapy and education, and I love being able to share my knowledge and understanding of how children learn, with the families I work with. I strongly believe that every child has the ability to learn and communicate, given the right environment and support. I have had further training in the areas of Autism, Key Word Sign, play therapy, Early Start Denver Model, theory of mind, Story Champs, and Proloquo Augmentative and Alternative Communication. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, friends, and dogs. I also like to read, watch movies, and play board games. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Hello, I'm Niko. I am a provisional psychologist with a strong academic background, currently progressing through a Master of Clinical Psychology after completing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and Master of Professional Psychology.

I am a passionate and experienced behaviour therapist with a strong academic background in psychology and education.
