Hi, I am Anmol. I am working as a counsellor at SLCN with Brent and Lisa. I have completed Master of Counselling from Monash University. Previously, I did Bachelor of Psychology with Honours in India. I worked as a tele-grief counsellor for more than a year, and as a school counsellor for 8 months during my degree at Monash. I have also worked as a mental health professional for an app providing chat-based counselling services for one year. I have experience counselling both adults and children. I come from a joint family in India. My little brother was diagnosed with autism 14 years ago, so I understand first-hand what it is like dealing with kids with special needs. He was a speaking child until 4 years of age, and when he suddenly stopped talking, we decided to get him checked out. That was the first time me and my family heard about autism and began to understand what it meant for us and for my brother. Watching him grow, I realised the important role played by the therapists and the workers that helped him build a better life for him. When I got the opportunity to work as a counsellor at SLCN, I got excited as I love working with children with needs. I love watching them grow and develop new skills. I believe with proper support and the right environment, children with needs can flourish. At SLCN, I work to address the specific needs of the children dealing with range of communication, behavioural, and mental health needs and their families. My aim would be to give individualised therapy to children and provide support to the families under the supervision and guidance of Brent. In my spare time I love spending time with my husband, watching tv shows and playing badminton. I am also fond of playing board games. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

I am a speech pathologist with 8 years of experience working with children and adolescents. I enjoy working with students, families, and school staff to evaluate a student’s strengths and speech, language, and communication needs, collaborate with families and teachers to facilitate school, home, and community support, assist in the development of a learning plan, recommend home and classroom therapy and adjustments, and measure progress. I have a current working with children’s check and police check. I am a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) with Speech Pathology Australia.

Hi! My name is Indiana, but you can call me Indy. I am a speech-language pathologist working with Brent and the whole SLCN team to provide quality therapy services online. I have completed a degree in Speech Pathology from the University of the Philippines Manila and finished as a topnotcher in the Philippine National Licensure Exams for SLPs. I had just started working as an SLP when the pandemic hit, which led me to transition and focus my efforts on learning all about Telehealth. I found it amazing how I could connect, treat, and build relationships with my students and their families, even from miles away. I have experience working with children with various concerns in language, speech, pragmatics, fluency, voice, and alternative communication. As a therapist, my goal is to provide children, families, and teachers with the best outcomes using evidence-based treatment approaches, all while honoring the individuality of each child. Furthermore, I value creativity and play, always striving to make sessions fun and memorable for all participants. In my free time, I love immersing myself in nature—going hiking, freediving, and camping. But I also enjoy wandering the city to find hole-in-the-wall cafes and restaurants. I also have a passion for photography and creative media, something I would love to share with you as I get to know you and your family.

Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m an allied health assistant working alongside my son Brent, at SLCN. I come to speech therapy through my love of working with children. I am a primary school teacher with 19 years’ experience. 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. My aim is to make speech therapy fun for the children I work with, as well as providing support and guidance to families.

Hi, I’m Zahrah. I am a behavioural therapist working with Brent and the team at SLCN. My educational background involves studying a double major in Law and Psychological Sciences in Australia. I have experience in Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI) therapy such as ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis) therapist. I have previously specialised in children under 8 years of age, with a level 3 ASD diagnosis, with varying sensory and communication needs. I have experience in implementing AAC methods including: AUSLAN Key Word Signing, PECS and Proloquo2go devices in behavioural therapy sessions. I also have previous experience in the retail environment, as well as working in an Education and Migration Compliance settings. In my spare time I like to go for long drives, watch tv shows and true crime documentaries, bake and spend time with loved ones. I have always loved interacting with children, especially spending quality time with my nieces and nephews. This soon became a passion once I started EIBI to help children with special needs. I enjoy the development of the children that I work and interact with. I love being able to see the children make progress with their communication skills which subsequently helps with behaviours! My aim at SLCN is to provide fun and meaningful therapy for children as well as providing the guidance and support that SLCN families require under the supervision and guidance of Brent. Each child has a different way of learning, playing and understanding and this means that the therapy that they receive will be tailored to adapt to their needs, as well as meeting family goals. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!
