Yuening Li Psychotherapist

Supporting Learning for Children with Needs 35 Hermitage Parade, Derrimut, Victoria, 3026

Overview

I am a passionate and experienced behaviour therapist with a strong academic background in psychology and education. I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science from the University of Wollongong and a Master of Education (specialising in Student Wellbeing) from the University of Melbourne. I have worked extensively with children and young adults with autism and developmental delays across a variety of settings, including early intervention, school care programs, and clinical environments. My current role at SLCN involves delivering one-on-one, applied behaviour analysis and positive behaviour support therapy sessions that support children in achieving developmental milestones and learning readiness. With a warm and empathetic approach, I am committed to helping children build emotional regulation, communication, and social skills. My experience coordinating school care services and assisting in therapy sessions has equipped me with a deep understanding of behavioural challenges and the strategies needed to support positive outcomes. I am dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments where children can thrive.
